Dave raises a good point here. Though libf2c's configure.in can't
elegantly intuit the appropriate information, perhaps it should
AC_SUBST it, which means the top-level configure would have to pass
it down there instead of later via the Makefile process.
That way, once configured, builds and installs would work from the
lower-level directory. Personally, I'd love this.
Manfred, does this make sense? Could you consider doing it if you
understand the relevant bits of top-level configure? Feel free
to fix up the gcc, g77, and libf2c configure/Makefile stuff accordingly
(e.g. the gcc configure would have to substitute the $(libsubdir)
macro as well in the gcc Makefile it builds, right?).
