I don't have such a line, because I'm using automake 1.10, I guess. If
you are really interested I could try with another version.

Yes and yes, I'd say. And in fact I had the idea of presenting what I
recently have done (converting GNU Mach to use Automake) on these very
mailing lists, but didn't get to actually do that so far.

Yes. If you're using Debian you need to install the `mig' package, if
not, that's easily doable by hand.

Nice! So, you actually ask me to present it here. :-)
You can basically follow the instructions from
<http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Mach/BuildingGNUMach>. You're most
probably interested in using the cvs sources, the `gnumach-1-branch'.
You could supply `--disable-default-device-drivers' to the `configure'
command line to avoid compiling all the device drivers into the kernel
image, which slows down the build, but -- most probably -- won't give any
new results for your use case. Everything else (build system wise)
should work as expected.
Please ask, if there are questions.

Thomas
