If`CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC' will be used. Be sure tospecify `CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a cross-compiler to the `host'machine.CC_FOR_BUILD a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'CC a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred.SH "REPORTING BUGS"Report bugs and patches to <config\-patches@gnu.org>..PPOriginally written by Per Bothner.Copyright (C) 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005Free Software Foundation, Inc..PPThis is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
