Cross-compiling aside the problem is with the install target and scripts. We need an install target with prefix support to make installation reasonably easy for distributions, and we need that the scripts can find the tools. And we might want a program prefix to avoid possible conflict with other tools of the same name. Autotools can do that. Running the scripts through a sed script during installation may also.
