Simplistically, I want to type "make" in a subdirectory and build
code in the appropriate manner for the platform (dynamically-linked
on platform X, statically-linked on platform Y).
Perhaps a concrete example no gmake/autobloat/libstool dependency)
would help. The proposed option, freezes files and breaks nothing.
