    "either remove the usage of the ogg.m4 specific test macro, or embed it into the source tree (albeit when i looked at ogg.m4 it used bogus proprietary logic a la "wx-config", "libmikmod-config", "apr-1-config" etc, which are all pkgconfig clones although without proper cross-compile/sysroot support, so this may preclude cross-compilation, as it seems to use $prefix and not $sysroot/$prefix - sysroot support was added to autoconf about 4 years ago but i

    doubt that external ogg.m4 was also adapted...).
    it's almost always a bad idea to rely on vendor-specific proprietary build-configuration tools since the guys that wrote them are usually not experts in the domain"
