Overall, across all the packages in the distribution, the build process
has quite a few warts. I run gentoo and i always have to tweak
individual Makefiles even after I get autoconf to correctly generate
configure.
This is not really a complaint per se: if there are problems and I can
fix them I should feed the solutions back to the community. However, I
am lazy and forgetful :)
