Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release

Description:
    I have problems when cross-compiling bash on an i686 machine for
    an x86_64 machine:

    At the end of a make the program size is used and it fails,
    because it does not recognize the binary format of the just
    created bash binary.

    In my case the program x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-size of the
    cross-compiler toolchain should be used, but unfortunately, the
    size program is hard-coded in Makefile.in and cannot be adjusted
    via the configure script.  

Repeat-By:
    Try to cross-compile bash.

Fix:
    I would have provided one, but the distribution package does not
    include Makefile.am and I do not know where I can get CVS access.
    An anonymous check-out on savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/bash did not
    provide me the sources...
