That would be acceptable too; the capture trick is ugly, but if we
really want to have the generic examples available to all platforms, I
see no other way to get the exact compilation and link flags. So it's
basically a matter of choice: either we don't provide any Makefile frag
for 2.4, or we implement the capture trick so that every platform can
compile them.
