Thank you.

I grepped the infos coming with autoconf-2.61 and automake-1.10
and found only two occurrences,
"you can test whether the shell variable `cross_compiling' is set to
`yes'" and a general example of such test. they never tell you may change the
variable. is this really supported? I mean, doesn't this contradict
the principles of how configure scripts should be designed?

Or there is another manual documenting this?
