And don't forget things like EXTRA_CFLAGS and the ilk. I'm shoe-horning this into an OpenWRT-based distro. And, to be fair, it's not just lua. I can't tell you how many times I run across the follwing in a gnu configure script

if "cross-compile" = "yes"
exit 1

Having been into make lately, it would seems that there a lot of
confusion about make (or GNU make anyway) defaults.

1. methinks CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS separation is helpful (never happens)

I notice that every package that I cross compile, I have to, at a

is the standard lua way of building for cross-compile?
/path/to/your/cross-compiler -Isrc etc/all.c -o lua

Is one approach.

It's not that, it's that all the support scripts seem to be standardized
in a way which

1) wants to call the local lua on the build machine to get installation
info
2) Makefiles often have things like CFLAGS and CC hardcoded
3) There is usually no support for things like $(DESTDIR)

Each set of files looks similar enough that they probably are based on
the same original set, yet each is different enough that they have to be
tweaked by hand.
