Ad 1) You can use --host=x86_64-linux-gnu if I am not mistaken. Ad 2) It seems to duplicate #7867 ---------------------------------------- Bug #7874: multiarch support enhancements https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7874#change-36452 Author: terceiro (Antonio Terceiro) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 2.0.0 ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2013-02-17 trunk 39293) Hi, I am one the maintainers of Ruby in Debian, thanks a lot for adding multiarch support. While preparing packages for Ruby 2.0, I found two issues: 1) On a x86_64 Debian system with Linux kernel, Ruby will say that the architecture is "x86_64-linux", but the standard architecture name for such a system, as used in multiarch-enabled packages, is "x86_64-linux-gnu". In order to not break other systems, I suggest adding a --with-multiarchname argument to ./configure so that the Debian package can pass in the appropriate architecture name during ./configure stage. 2) the pkg-config data also has to be installed inside multiarch paths. I am attaching patches for both issues. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
