Thanks for pointing this out, especially when I now notice that it's
already in the FM. The build is chugging away.
As for configparms not taking effect, perhaps that info should be used by
autoconf-generated scripts (./configure) as if it were part of the
config.cache, as well as by the Makefile's. Something like
[ -f "configparms" ] && . configparms
near the top of configure.in might do the trick...?
Thanks!
