Re: Defaults when cross-compiling

[Michael T. Kloos]

It seems to me that Autoconf (configure) is making some bad choices if 
it is just guessing that support exists like that, especially when it 
has a guaranteed fallback.  It's job is to setup the build for the 
target host system.  I was able to fix the build by using 
--without-bash-malloc.  Simply unsetting HAVE_SBRK didn't work by 
itself.  It is my opinion that the behavior should be that if configure 
can't check that support exists, it should change the default build 
options to be --without-bash-malloc.  If the user, then, re-enables it 
on the configure command line with --with-bash-malloc, that is on them.
