We could do that, but we run into similar problems between versions of
the OS, at least running configure answers the real questions about what
exists on this version of MPE (even if roundabout). There is an active
"POSIX smoothing" project whose results will be more (and more compatible)
services with what one would expect on other platforms. So, a "static"
config.site might not be the best solution, either.
BTW - I don't see how running the "customized" autoconf will break
cross development - it does what is done on other machines, it just takes
one more step to do so.
