You may want to note in the subject that this patch is about configure.

How do you deal with the hardcoded limitation that uname_S is defined to be the output of "uname -s" on the _build_ system, and that quite a large part of the Makefile sets variables dependent on this?

IOW are you certain that configure (with your patch) will override _all_ uname_S dependent settings?

Ciao, Dscho
