Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I've been searching for 
most of the day and haven't found any answers. I currently build on 
two machines, but I'd like to build on one instead of two. Currently, 
I build the Linux version on my Linux box, and my Mac OS X version on 
the Mac. I'd like to compile the Linux version on Mac OS X, and I 
think I have the platform settings correct to generate X86 code, but I 
can't figure out how to tell it I want an ELF executable or shared 
library.
This should be trivial enough to do, just build it up and presto, it'll 
work.  Try config.guess on your linux system, and it will tell you what 
to target, and use --target=blabla to target it.  In addition, you'll 
need binutils already compiled up and installed and you'll need headers 
and library and so forth.  See the installation manual.  What you want 
it called a cross compiler, there are FAQs on building one up, take a 
look at those.
