Any suggestion as to setting up "configure" for the SDK ?

[Dr.BeauWebber]

Hi,
Well now I have the gcc tool-chain installed, and helloworld.c compiles and runs fine,
I want to compile a larger package (or just its library) that is configured using the script "configure".

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a correct way of doing this ?

I want to cross-compile from host: Cygwin to target : parallella simulator.

I have found the following very helpful page, but am not yet quite sure what text strings to enter where for configure :

Help appreciated,
cheers,
Beau

The first and most essential point is :
what is the correct string for the --target flag for the Parallella ?
i.e. when not cross compiling, on my laptop Windows Cygwin system, it uses (from the .log file) :
Target: i686-pc-cygwin
