You may have difficulty with this because automake doesn't handle the build/host distinction very well. Like, there's no canned way AFAIK to say that a given executable should be built for one or the other. I tend to think it would be simpler to just reimplement the bits you need. Once you can rely on GNU make this kind of thing is pretty easy, and less opaque than automake. However, don't let me stand in your way. And, I'm definitely in favor of removing all the subdir configure scripts. Tom
