Hi,

You've not specified the make/build system that your source code is
using nor what your package is using.

Within your rules file you can specify the options with which to call
configure with, here you would normally pass in the name of the compiler
that you wish to use, instead of the default entry.

If you could provide us (the list) with the package files and your code
it would be easier to help.

Dave
