I would have to say that this can be done but the present build system that you are using does not allow for you to customize builds. Have you considered using automake and autoconf for building on Linux systems? I have created a Makefile.am file for crypto++ 5.1 for use with a project. I can send that to you. Do you want it?
I would like it! I would love to see Crypto++ be much more accessable to Unix-type systems. The FreeBSD port is a good start (it works well), but rpm, deb, and Gentoo Portage would be stellar additions. I had made an autoconf/make release for 4.2 in tar.gz, but I'm not the best autoconf hacker so it only offered basic functionality.
