This really isn't an Autoconf question.  config-ml.in really is a GCC
thing, but for convenience it's also shipped with Automake, together
with automake/m4/multi.m4 which defines
  AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB([MAKEFILE], [REL-TO-TOP-SRCDIR])

which I think contains "the magic" you're looking for.  Questions about
it usually find an audience better prepared to answer at a GCC list, or
maybe Automake's.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
