That seems to fool configure. It took an hour or two to figure out
the right parameters... it turns out that just setting the OS name is
not enough, because our DragonFly version is 1.0 configure wound up
believing the operating system to be FreeBSD-1.0, which broke a lot
of things :-). So I basically have to override nearly all the uname
parameters.
In theory, autoconf's configure should be able to handle a host/target
override (ala --host=i686-elf-freebsd or somesuch). In theory, half the
time it thinks you're trying to do a cross-compile and refuses to go
much of anywhere.
Boy do I hate configure.
Amen to that...
