Hi,


I was trying to cross-compile lighttpd using a mips cross-compiling
toolchain and clang. lighttpd uses libtool to compile some libraries. I
got an error when libtool tried to link with clang:

/bin/bash ../libtool=C2=A0 --tag=3DCC=C2=A0=C2=A0 --mode=3Dlink /usr/bin/=

It seems that the linking flag "-target mips-linux-gnu" was removed by
libtool which resulted in the linker (clang) assuming the wrong
architecture (x86_64). The flag was set in the LDFLAGS environment
variable.

Before, it gets passed correctly during compiling (with CFLAGS=3D"-target=

mips-linux-gnu"):

/bin/bash ../libtool=C2=A0 --tag=3DCC=C2=A0=C2=A0 --mode=3Dcompile /usr/b=

I'm not sure if this is intended or an error. The Problem only occurs if
the flag "-target mips-linux-gnu" is set in=C2=A0 CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
Changing the environment variable CC to "/usr/bin/clang -target
mips-linux-gnu" instead, mitigates the problem, since it is then present
during linking with libtool. I tried it with lighttpd 1.4.49 which uses
the latest release version of libtool (2.4.6).

Libtool only passes through options that it understands.  Otherwise=20
