Subject: Cross Compiling Question

Hello,

I'm presently trying to get any decent scripting language to run on an 
embedded arm system i have.  Ruby seems to be the best bet since it 
takes up relatively little space and other have suceeded in cross 
compiling it.  However, I am having a bit of trouble in getting ruby to 
cross-compile properly.  Here's how it happens. 

First I do this, and yes, my cross compiler is set up and working with 
all the necessary libraries and such. 

./configure --host=arm-linux

It stops at one point and says that setpgrp can't be used in a cross 
compile.  That's pretty much the dead end right there.  Any and all 
insight as to how to cross compile ruby would be most appreciated.  My 
build system is an athlon XP running linux with gcc 3.3.2 and 
arm-linux-gcc 3.2.  The target system is an Intel PXA255 XScale arm 
processor with only 16MB of total room to work with and it also runs 
linux. 

Thank you,
-Scott
