Hello Christian,

sorry, I saw your mail only after sending my other.

Unless those heuristics extend to other platforms as well, we will have
at least a bit of a hard time accepting them into Autoconf proper (if
that's what you're aiming for), because in the long run, even just
enumerating all the cross compilation systems will be a burden for
Autoconf.

Cheers,
Ralf
