I have been able to build (and link with) the libraries using the native gcc compiler on my linux-x86 platform, but have been unable to find a way to force the build process to use something like: /path/to/my/cross_compiler/for/linux-ppc/gcc Can someone please advise me in the proper way to build the libs with an absolute path to my cross compiler?
