Hi Ross, Adding the automake list, because (mostly for historical reasons) aclocal is actually part of automake, not autoconf.

I don't really get it, why you would need different autoconf macro directories for "the target and the native", but ok... > Unfortunately you can’t pass a colon-separated list for —system-acdir > so right now we’re effectively doing: I believe the dirlist mechanism[1] for aclocal can be used to achieve the result you are trying to achieve. Either put a dirlist file in the specified directory which points to the other one, or specify a totally different directory containing a dirlist file that refers to both.
