configure scripts and cross-compiling

[Mike Culbertson]

Could somone specify what it is generic configure script would have to
find in order to think that the compiler I am using (gcc 2.95-3 on
sun/sparc solaris 8) is a cross-compiler?  I have a fairly standard
install of everything, and I am using no proprietary tools with the
exception of a few in /usr/ccs/bin (ar, as, etc).  At thi point, nothing
wants to build properly and I am really not sure what I have changed that
has caused this (I never have actually been set up as a cross-compiler)
Thanks in advance.  Any other info provided on request.
