> adds configure.ac logic to run ./menuselect/configure .
> The problem is while cross-compiling CC is not properly set for the "host" compilation of menuselect when called via the main ./configure script.
> The error is of this form, near the very end, just before the Asterisk logo...
> --
> checking for gcc... /home/user/astlinux/1.0/output/host/usr/bin/i586-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc
> checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
> checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: in `/home/user/astlinux/1.0/output/build/asterisk-1.8.25.0/menuselect':
> configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
> If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
> See `config.log' for more details.
> --
> Fortunately the above error is not fatal and menuselect/Makefile will again call ./menuselect/configure when called using the "host" make.
> The offered 'cleanup' is to skip this configure.ac section when cross-compiling.
