        I have in my BQ E4.5 below ~phablet/myRoot a complete Linux un-tared to be able to compile and test things there. I did this already in the time of Canonical.

        The root fs was made of un-taring ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz

        Now I can not figure out to compile something there. The configure fails with:

        # ./configure CC=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc 
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking whether make supports nested variables... no
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking build system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
checking host system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) no
configure: autobuild project... libassuan
configure: autobuild revision... 2.5.1
configure: autobuild hostname... ubuntu-phablet
configure: autobuild timestamp... 20190106-143049
checking for style of include used by make... none
checking for gcc... /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/src/libassuan-2.5.1':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

        In config.log it is missing the file crt1.o nd maybe others:

        configure:3667: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3689: /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc    conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

        I tried as well with he normal compile CC=gcc
        What additional packages I have to install in this system and which gcc to use?

        Thanks

          To answer my own question:

          root@ubuntu-phablet:/# apt-get install gcc
root@ubuntu-phablet:/# apt-get install libc-dev
root@ubuntu-phablet:/# apt-get install make
