The above does not work quite as expected due to several issues. First of all, configure will hang as the apple as expects input on stdin if no source file is specified. Also, the version version flag is -v; though it will print the version when it doesn't understand the --version flag, it uses stderr, so the grep doesn't see it. The last issue is that both the apple and gnu as have GNU in the version: % as -v Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-525.obj~1, GNU assembler version 1.38 Considering the above, it is probably best to check for the apple as explicitly, and make sure the stdio goes where it should. Perhaps something like the following: AC_CHECK_PROGS(AS, [as gas]) test "$AS" = "as" && as -v < /dev/null 2>&1 | grep Apple >/dev/null || AS=gas One problem not addressed is that some linux distributions (maybe not ppc) have no gas binary, only gas is installed as as. In this case, the AS=gas would not be right, but the hard coded binary name in the ppc/gas/Makefile.am would prevent it from working anyway.
