Hello Werner,
Once again you ignore that even the current build system does not
comply with autoconf standards and should be fixed.
This was not required if you support pkg-config as we could have an
option, but if you insist not supporting pkg-config at least work to
fix the existing build to properly support multilib and cross compile.
Thanks,
Alon
