The argument to `if' must be an automake conditional, not a subst. So
you would use something like this in configure.ac:
AM_CONDITIONAL(USE_APMLIB, test -n "$APMLIB")
Then in Makefile.am you would write:
if USE_APMLIB
APM_PROGS = miniapm
endif

I can't explain that. The DESTDIR support, and in fact all of
automake, is supposed to be architecture-independent. Could you
explain exactly how it fails on ARM?
