When setting up a cross-build environment, the first package I reached
for as a test case was naturally 'hello' - but unfortunately I found
that it isn't set up for cross-building! I think it would serve hello's
purpose as an example well to fix this.
There are two problems:
1) doesn't follow the recommendations in
/usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz for configure
arguments
2) always forces CC=gcc, rather than just letting configure take care
of it
The following patch fixes both, and then hello cross-builds fine. I left
the comment about autoconf versioning from the autotools-dev
documentation in place by way of documentation.
