Yep, it tests whether it can run a program generated by the selected
compiler. If it can, it believes it's not cross compiling. Anyway,
you're explicitly specifying that `host' is i386-oskit, so it should
be all right.
We might benefit from a libtool port to oskit, otherwise it will do
everything as simple as possible, building only static libraries, and
assuming inter-library dependencies must all be resolved at program
link-time (after all, there are no shared libraries to make things
harder).
However, there's the -lc issue. Around line 1450 of ltmain.sh,
there's a case that excludes some systems, such as cygwin, mingwin and
os2, from explicitly adding -lc. We might add *-oskit (or *-*-oskit,
as it should have probably been) to this exclusion list, as a first
step in porting libtool to oskit. Would that help you? Would you
please give it a try before I go ahead and install it in libtool?
