Typo! That makes 2 mistakes this week! Are you feeling okay? :P This does look pretty good though, and the idea of having v3 in buildrom is great! I'm kicking myself now for never having used buildrom until yesterday, such a great tool. Did you ever track down the source of that __stack_chk_fail we discussed on IRC?
Autoconf is very annoying, but as the inventor of OpenEmbedded once famously said, "autoconf sucks, but at least we know how it sucks". However, no amount of autoconf knowledge will save us from projects that further abuse the already fragile scripts. In this case, we have mkelfimage committing several crimes - 1) they overwrite incoming environment variables in autoconf, thereby thwarting any possibility of us tweaking things from the ouside, and
Yep, this should be fixed in mkelfimage, please notify the developers.
- they ship a version of the final configure script, which
forces us to patch both the configure.ac _and_ the configure script itself,
Alternatively you could just patch configure.ac and run autoconf/automake etc. to regenerate the generated files, but I'm afraid that's pretty fragile too (different autoconf versions etc).
