Well.  You don't tell us what you did before and what link command line
Automake issues.  How are we to know the difference then?

Please don't start a new thread if you are still trying to solve the

That depends quite on what particular system you are on.  If that
matches i686-pc-linux-gnu, there should be little difference.
But you did not tell us that either.

Use --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu.  But I don't think you need this.
