Summary:                    gdm fails to compile
Description: 
With the lunar coretools, I am running into an error stating that my $BUILD
is incorrect

+ Enabling gcc wrapper scripts to force optimizations
+ BUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
+ GCCVER="3"
+ CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=athlon-tbird -march=athlon-tbird -funroll-loops -mmmx
-m3dnow"
+ CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=athlon-tbird -march=athlon-tbird -funroll-loops
-mmmx -m3dnow"
+ LDFLAGS=""
+ building "gdm" version "2.6.0.0" in /usr/src/gdm-2.6.0.0
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type:

At the end it fails (but thinks it succeeds) with this message
checking for ANSI C header files... yes
checking build system type... config.sub: missing argument
Try `config.sub --help' for more information.
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub   failed
/sbin/lin: line 18: --with-xinerama=yes: command not found

./configure   --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu  --prefix=/usr --with-xinerama=yes
--sysconfdir=/etc/X11 --localstatedir=/var --infodir=/usr/share/info
--mandir=/usr/share/man

Running that by hand WORKS!.. wtf!?  I tried removing the quotes in the
$BUILD by adding this right before the configure but it still doesnt work.
 What the hell is going on here?  This is with the lunar again due to the
lin freeze I found.
BUILD=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
echo $BUILD
