Difficulties cross-compiling

[vmchale]

When I attempt to cross-compile using arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc, I get the following:

It may be solvable by commenting out/removing https://github.com/tlwg/libdatrie/blob/master/configure.ac#L135

Thanks!

The AC_FUNC_MALLOC line must be auto-generated by autoscan when configure.in was first generated. And I can't see the code reliance on GNU malloc(0) behavior, as documented here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/Particular-Functions.html#index-AC_005fFUNC_005fMALLOC-385

So, I think it's safe to just remove the line.
