abstract-sockets problem compiling dbus with arm-linux cross compiler

[Soh Kam Yung]

Hello,

I'm also getting this cross-compile issue with abstract sockets.  How
do I provide the default answer (supported/not-supported) to the
configure script so that it can skip the check for abstract sockets?

BTW, I noticed that this question has appeared in the dbus mailing
list a few times (with different answers).  Perhaps a 'definitive'
answer could be provided on the dbus wiki or put into the
README/INSTALL file.

Regards,
Kam-Yung
