I'm using a Gentoo system, so I'm using patches/work-arounds based on the Portage ebuilds, plus the few patches included in the archive for Kindle/x-tc related hacks/workarounds. And I went the 'hard' way of using a recent gcc/glibc combo instead of the exact same (old) TC as on the Kindle, so there's a few hoops to jump through to avoid ABI mismatches.

That explains the relative mess compared to the usual (./configure && make)

.

AFAIK, unless you're missing a full development environment on your host, you shouldn't have any issue with ct-ng itself. What seems to be the problem, exactly? (check/post the log).
