I would try to drop the --host and --build parameters to the configure 
script. One would have to look at the config.log the exactly see what 
happens and why this results int he C compiler not working anymore. These 
line are relevant for the debian packages to support cross-compiling 
(directly pass the target system) but in the maemo autobuilder environment 
they possibly do harm (perhaps the configure script assumes special names 
for the compile, which does not exists. config.log would tell us). 

My packages work without them. The configure script then tries to detect the 
platform itself and was right in its guess :-) 

It would however be interesting to hear from the autobuilder people how we 
should cope with such debian specifica?
