This is how it should be. The problem is that many vendor sources
contain configure scripts and Makefiles that try to "guess" what
should be built and how.

It takes quite some effort for the packagers to stop this guessing
and I am sure that many OpenPKG packages still fall short when
trying to fix the problem.
