Using the systemtap configure script on Ubuntu 9.04

[gkosteva at comcast dot net]

Hello,
I am trying to build systemtap for the freescale imx31 (arm) processor.
I have successfully updated my kernel build with CONFIG_RELAY, CONFIG_DEBUG_FS, CONFIG_KPROBES, and CONFIG_DEBUG INFO.
 
I downloaded systemtap-1.2.tar.gz from the sourceware.org website.
>From my compile environment I attempted to run the systemtap configure script and got the output below.
It suggested that I cross compile using the --host option, but help does not provide info on this particular option.
Should I be using a different process to create my systemtap executable for the imx31?
 
Thanks.

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
