Guys:

If the build system derives from autoconf, then a hacked-up config.cache (or
equivalent command-line args) often solves problems for me.  Just give the cache
the answers that it would otherwise have to get by running code on the target
machine.

That's how emdebian is doing a bunch of their stuff, and I have to admit that it
works pretty darned well.  It's also handy for configuration management, since
the cache file itself is plaintext and therefore svn/git/bzr/cvs/...-friendly.
