Re: Build rpcgen-generated files when cross compiling

[Roland McGrath <roland at hack dot frob dot com>]

My inclination is still to do this with generic variables/rules.
The existing native-compile cases can be converted to use the same
machinery, so we have only one place where the decisions about
compiling for the build host are kept.

Actually, it's better for this to be := since it's unconditionally used
right away.

There should never be -D switches directly in a rule like this.
They all ought to be in some variable.


Thanks,
