Comment:

 Hi,

 I can reproduce something similar on amd64 Linux with r37899.
 (pretty new Debian/Lenny)


 the problem seems to be that the system type is not detected properly
 ("unknown" or ""), and build dirs end up called bin./ and dist./.

 there is: "config.status.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"

 for releasebranch_6_4 on the same machine I get: bin.x86_64-unknown-linux-
 gnu/ and dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ and it builds ok.

 error is:
 {{{
 [...]grass/svn/trunk/dist./bin/db.login --html-description < /dev/null |
 grep -v '</body>\|</html>' > db.login.tmp.html ; fi
 access: No such file or directory
 ERROR: LOCATION <<
        /usr/src/grass/svn/trunk/dist.unknown/demolocation >> not
        available
 make[2]: *** [db.login.tmp.html] Error 1
 rm db.login.tmp.html
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/grass/svn/trunk/db/db.login'
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/grass/svn/trunk/db'
 }}}


 in the above note dist. != dist.unknown.


 I had a look but couldn't see where in configure's uname magic it
 determines the "unknown" type. Seems to be related to cross-compiling.
