Description Joseph Myers 2012-05-09 22:57:17 UTC

There should be generic makefile support for building programs that run on the build system for use as part of the build, such as rpcgen.

https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_prog_cc_for_build.html would seem to be the standard way to accomplish this?
