Well, according to my experience as the maintainer of a 400+ packets distribution build system, in general autotoolized packets just work in cross scenarios, whereas almost anything else does not and makes endless pain. In this case, it should be adapted to the way the makefiles of the rest of ltp work, so I agree that the autotoolization can be removed. I've tested the latest ltp release yesterday night and (with some little problems unrelated to the makefiles) cross building still works, so I've no objections that you go ahead. Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.
