[Ltib] inotify-tools ?

Hi everyone,

Trying to cross-compile inotify-tools with LTIB but failed here:

I'm using:
inotify-tools-3.13
autoconf-2.64
automake-1.7.6
perl-5.8.8

I know there's Busybox Inotifyd which is similar to inotify-tools but it seems like Busybox version does not have features like inotifywait with "--format" and so on. Thus, i'm forced to use inotify-tools instead. Besides, the ./configure of inotify-tools does support buildcc and hostcc, which seems to me it's cross-compilable especially to ARM. Why it still ended up with the error as above (BOLDED)?

Thanks!
