Summary:                    Packages with "self-written" configure scripts fail
with non-Linux hosts
Description: 
Non-autoconf packages seem to be unfriendly towards cross-building. Few
examples are zlib and jpeg. On Mac OS X host, they cannot link shared
libraries correctly, because they identify the host system as the target
system and try to pass OS X linker flags to, for example,
i686-linux-uclibc-gcc. Autoconfed packages, such as gmp, seem to work
fine.

Please report this to the affected upstream-packages. Such packages are
supposed to be fixed upstream, we will add new upstream releases that
contain such fixes ASAP (upon notice).

thanks.
