Autoconf _is_ the problem here, because its PATH_SEP detection is
not cross-compilation-friendly, therefore it needs defining per-
target-OS.  See, e.g., the binutils tree, for example, where they
use autotools is used PATH_SEPARATOR+shell scripts thingies, but
all *.c and *.h define it themselves. (I am not an autools expert,
though..)
