Sure - e.g. AC_SUBST(ORDER, ${bar_if_gnu_make}).

Actually, Stan and Joel said it :-)
Mark, do you have any comments about requiring GNU make for correct
dependencies? I may be misremembering, but I believe you were
concerned about GNU make dependency the last time this came up.
Even if not, you work on more host platforms than any other GDB
maintainer.
Is supporting clean builds (actually, also modifying a source file and
rebuilding - everything but modifying a header file) without GNU make
sufficient?
