I am using autoconf 2.52. I have a project that requires a seperate
configure script in a child directory. I specify its directory in
AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS. In most cases everything works properly: I run the
main configuration script which, when complete, runs the other
configure. I have just started experimenting with cross-compiling
(using mingw32) and I have to specify --host,--build and --target
options to the configure script. But when the subdir configure is run,
a set of arguments are pass to it, in the form of "build_alias=...",
"host_alias=...", and "target_alias=...". These are interpreted as host
specifications because they have no "--" signs.
I believe I have traced their origin to acgeneral.m4, lines 1555 to 1566
(although i am not *totally* sure). It seems that they are intended for
config.status but are unknowningly passed to the other configuration
script. Is this a bug?? Or am doing something wrong?? Is there a
version of autoconf where everything is known to work properly that I
can upgrade/downgrade to??
Thanks ...
