Hi, The autotools allows us to have a config.site cache where we define our defaults values for a couple of things, and prevent the "slow" and possibly wrong autodetection.
Here is a patch that makes use of it: http://people.freebsd.org/~bapt/autotools_config_site.diff As the libiconv/gettext update has shown the configure scripts can fall back on gnu version of commands first if it find it, and in case gettext is removed you can get trouble. In this config.site, I hardcoded a couple of FreeBSD binaries in order to always use them, but I let the toolchain being autodetected. I also added a couple of headers to avoid useless checks and more can be added in the futur. Any thought? regards, Bapt
