The cross-compiler is trying to build its own ctangle, which fails because ctangleboot in the build tree cannot find texmf.cnf. But, Afaik, it should not even try to build ctangle. Configure is supposed to check whether there is a working ctangle exe in PATH already. At least, that is what I remember.  But I cannot actually test anything on the ipad right now.

(It could also be a timestamp problem, but I thought we had all of those fixed a few years back)

Best wishes,
Taco
