[Pkg-shadow-devel] Problem at cross-compiling shadow-4.1.4.2

Hello,

I'm trying to cross-compile shadow-4.1.4.2. The host system is 
i686-unknown-linux-gnu. The target system is x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. I'm 
trying to run the configure script with the arguments --prefix=/usr 
--build=i686-unknown-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --disable-nls but 
I get the following error message:

checking whether setpgrp takes no argument... configure: error: cannot check 
setpgrp when cross compiling

I can fix this by adding ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void=yes to the configure arguments, 
but I wonder if this is the normal and recommended way to proceed or if it is a bug.

Thanks.
