Re: Why was handling of program_prefix changed?

[Franz Sirl]

Hi,

I've read thru this thread in the archives, but I don't understand one thing, 
how can I set $target_alias for a native build now?

AFAICS this does not happen with the suggested --host --build setup, or? So, 
to replace the commonly used "configure nativealias" I now have to use 
"configure --host=nativealias --build=nativealias --target=nativealias 
--program-prefix=NONE" (I think).

Is this also intentional? Or is this a bug? Am I overlooking something?

BTW, it would be nice if one would be notified during configure what happens 
to $program_prefix, like:
        checking for program prefix to use.. none
