<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:

assembly source so feeding it with assembly is a mistake. Setting host to
none-pc-interix3 makes configure complete but make fails because an #included
symbolic link is not recognized as such. To make matters worse, it cannot
be fixed externally because the variable LN_S is not externally configurable.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
