I think this way lies continued stalemate. I don't see how both can be
made to work, and, if this cannot be accomplished (we have attempted
this for libstdc++), I'd rather have things work sanely with autoconf
2.5.x. It is an incredible inconvenience for me to not be able to use
the default autotools on RH 8 for libstdc++ work: because of this, I'm
motivated to get this working for libstdc++ as soon as possible.
I think a much saner approach is to take the target subdirs on a case by
case basis.
Are all the target libs able to auto-gen configure/Makefiles with the
exact same autoconf/automake at the moment? That would surprise me.
