Hi, would it make sense to have a macro like that (and a corresponding AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR_BUILD) that is functionally equivalent to AC_CONFIG_SUBDIR, but uses --host=$target (or --host=$build, respectively)? In a project, I both need to build a set of programs for the $target architecture (for which a compiler already exists) that are then installed to a subdirectory on the host and used as binary files by the host program, and I build a set of programs that compile stuff during the build process (which is probably the more common use case for such a function). Right now my toplevel Makefile builds these in the appropriate order, so it's not a pressing matter, I was just wondering whether having macros for that would do any good (for example, it would allow me to get rid of the hand-written Makefile.in in the toplevel of my project in favour of an automake-generated one).
