           Summary: Use AC_CANONICAL_HOST instead of AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: fridrich.strba at bluewin.ch


The check in the configure.ac wants actually know about the "host" system where
the binaries will be run and not about "target" system that is normally used
for systems where the binaries are run on one system and producing binaries for
other system.
We had this discussion on irc some 2 weeks ago. The problem does not show
unless one cross-compiles. In the case of the cross-complilation, the current
state produces a <target_cpu>-<target_os>-<target_platform>-jsc$EXEEXT which is
not what we need.
