+ # We need to run some of our own binaries, most notably makedoc, but as
+ # long as we have this process, we also use our own makeinfo and
+ # install-info.
+ # 
+ # This means that if we are cross compiling, we have to configure the
+ # package twice: once with the native compiler (this is done in a
+ # subdirectory $native_tools), and once with the cross compiler.
+ # The former is invoked automatically here, with --host=$build.
+ # $native_tools is also added to SUBDIRS in the main Makefile.am,
+ # so that make compiles the native tools first.
