cross-compiling and AC_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD

[Ronald Landheer-Cieslak]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get the AC_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD macro from the macro archive 
to work with version 2.57 of autoconf (version 1.7.2 of aclocal (from 
automake); version 1.7.2 of automake and version 1.4.1 of m4).

the original AC_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD uses a number of pushdefs and popdefs to 
rename the variables used by these functions, so I've pretty much tried to 
do the same thing, and failed.

Apparently, the variables are not renamed within the macros invoked by the
AC_PROG_CC macro. It apparently works if the macro is invoked as any 
other, but not if it is "included" with a ``m4_expand_once'' directive.

Is there any known way to work around this (without patching autoconf 
itself)?
