This is presumably the one consequence of autoconf 2.5x's "specify absolutely nothing on the command line unless absolutely necessary" policy. I see two basic choices: - Override AC_CANONICAL_TARGET. - Always pass down --program-transform-name from the top level. I think the latter is the way to go. Any other opinions? -- Daniel Jacobowitz MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
