Using a recent CVS automake (checked out at Thu May 31 14:41:26 BST 2001),
and autoconf 2.50, I find that I now need to define ASFLAGS and AS in my
configure.{in,ac} in order to compile assembly sources. This seems
entirely reasonable; I just have two questions:
i) Is there any documentation of this yet? I couldn't find any, and simply
had to guess what to do from error messages and sources.
ii) Is there a recommended way to set ASFLAGS to a default value. I've
currently put
AS="$CC"
AC_SUBST(AS)
AC_SUBST(ASFLAGS)
into my configure.ac, but this is rather unsatisfactory. Neither
autoconf nor automake seem to provide a macro, though I may be missing
something.
