But you still doesn't show us an *exact* recipe or log files that demonstrates the problem you encounter. It's always hard to discuss things on such a theoretical level without have an example to test. Your suggested fix of doing ``` CFG=$CFG SHELL=$SHELL $MAKE setup unix ``` (if I understand you correctly) in the top-level `configure` script is trivial, and I'm certainly not opposed to apply that. However, we would like to really understand the big picture. Werner
