Summary0001339: libextractor cannot be cross-built
DescriptionCross-building libextractor halts at the 'printable' plugins, because dictionary-builder is also built for the target (--host=) architecture when it should be built native for the build machine. I have no idea how these situations should be handled in autotools.
TagsNo tags attached.

Very good question. I also have no answer here.

I just talked with Tom Tromey (automake author), he says that it would require a gigantic hack to fix this. So we won't.
