GNU autoconf, automake and libtool by Vaughan, Elliston, Tromey and Taylor 
published by New Riders.  Excellent book and good tutorial and 
reference.  For make, try the GNU Make book published by the FSF 
Press.  There is "Using and Porting GCC" or something like that, also 
published by the FSF Press.  If you get that, also get the GNU C Library 
book by the FSF Press.  All excellent books, and all available free in 
postscript format, too (the FSF ones.)  I usually print these and stick 
them in ringbinders since there is no way I can afford to buy all these books.
