Currently, netkit (ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/Networking/netkit/netkit-combo-0.17.tar.gz) uses a configure script (good!) but it's not autoconf-generated. This is a problem when cross-compiling; it aborts if you specify a cross-compiler, and does a bunch of feature tests by running compiled code. e.g. netkit-base runs programs to check for bsd signal semantics and to verify snprintf works.
Has anyone converted netkit to use autoconf? Would the maintainers be interested in a netkit that was cross-compile-friendly? Or does everyone who needs cross-compiled netkit stuff just use Busybox, which cross-compiles nicely? - Dan
