that would be great. Not being an expert of autoconf, I wonder if you can
differentiate between machine type and compiler. I am trying to get a port to
Linux with another compiler (KAI C++ or KCC) and I had to unfold the "Linux IS
gcc" in the makefiles. Note also that things that could be thought of as
machine depend like ar are in fact compiler dependent: KCC should be used
instead of ar (I guess an archive tool must know of the mangling scheme of the
compiler).
