alsa-oss just build fine, look at myt libalsa-oss0 package in mandrake
contribs.

mdk9.0 come with both automake-1.4 and automake-1.6 since some
packages need the latter and some other the first one.

there's nothing wrong in having versionnated directories such as
/usr/share/automake.

there's nothing enforcing having /usr/share/automake.

only automake should access such files.

you should not have to rely on automake macros being in
/usr/share/automake and i failled to see where such  assumption is
made in alsa-oss build system in cvs.

so there's no point in such script.

if some tarball of some with a pre build configure and the like, and
if some links're broken, aclocal, libtoolize, automake and autoconf
are your friends to fix them.

anyway, generating them from cvs does works on any system having
automake & autoconf.
