Putting it in a makefile variable won't work, because 'make' would still expand the variable and display the message before running autoconf. We could put the message into a separate shell script (which we could call "not-autogen.sh" say), but that's overkill. I can think of other, even fancier ways to attack the problem, but they're all overkill too. > or suppress printing this particular line... But then the user wouldn't be informed when 'autoconf' runs. We shouldn't do that. >> > falling back on autogen.sh seems to be a win overall. > If the build failure is something completely irrelevant to autogen.sh > (if, for instance, we're hacking the sources) autogen.sh would be run only when a subset of autogen.sh fails, so the build failure cannot possibly be irrelevant to autogen.sh.
