I'm trying to cross-compile tshark for a MIPS32 platform.

The problem is that when I run make it says that rdps executable cannot run.
If I understood well this file should not be cross-compiled (because it is
used for compilation task on host machine) so I edit the Makefile and I
substitute this: 
rdps: rdps.c
        $(CC_FOR_BUILD) $(CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD) -o rdps $(srcdir)/rdps.c

With this:

rdps: rdps.c
        gcc $(CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD) -o rdps $(srcdir)/rdps.c

and now seems to work.
Is this a bug or I use --target, --host, and --build and the wrong manner? 

Looks like a bug to me.

I checked in a change (rev 20727) to change the line to:


rdps: rdps.c
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o rdps $(srcdir)/rdps.c
which should be correct (though I've never cross-compiled anything in my life).
