Code:

Nokia-N900-51-1:/home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ipmitool-1.8.11# sh ./configure
checking build system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
Nokia-N900-51-1:/home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ipmitool-1.8.11# checking for gawk... no

Do you have any idea what's going wrong?

(normal make files and find an alternative for packaging)

if you don't need them and can work with makefiles its certainly usable and fast.
if you need -dev headers for libraries, expect even more space, I find nowadays I can get by mostly with libliqbase-dev

Don't do this from within you MyDocs folder.
It is on a partitition which is formatted as VFAT
and you can not run executables from there.
Put your ipmitool-1.8.11 to
/home/user/
for example and try again.

I am working with plain old hand written Makefiles.
