no, it is a cross-compiler running on a linux-i386

The cross compiler resides in /mnt/vol5/lcu1/buildroot/output/staging/usr/bin/ as arm-linux-gcc.

nut-2.6.1 # declare -x PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/mnt/vol5/lcu1/buildroot/output/staging/usr/bin/"
 
nut-2.6.1 # ./configure --host=arm-linux-gcc
configure: WARNING: if you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used
Network UPS Tools version 2.6.1
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `arm-linux-gcc': system `gcc' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub arm-linux-gcc failed

Any advise ?
 
Thanks Tilman
