I would like to hear from anyone who has successfully cross-compiled netperf for an embedded platform. In particular I would like to know what changes if any I must/should make in the configure script to make it easier for folks.
happy benchmarking

Hm, cross compiled netperf for a DBOX running Linux, but this has not much been a Problem with the configure script running natively on an x86 Linux host before compiling and running make CC=cross-compiler afterwords.
I tend to use scatchbox for cross compiling Linux Application because of the configure scripts trying to configure the build machine instead of the target.

Good to hear.
To show my level of cluelessness - scratchbox? Any idea if there is something I might do in the netperf configure script to make things better for cross-compilation?

Scratchbox is a linux target (e.g. ARM) emulation environment for a linux host (e.g. i386). See
I have no Idea. I tend to use "make CC=foo" after running configure. This does work because any Linux is like Linux on the C-API Level. It might cause trouble in an attemt to auto-detect endianess. It definitely did work when cross-compiling netperf on x86 for a DBOX (Power-PC, big endian) also running Linux.
