It was born ugly (GPL). Automated? I'm not sure. Somewhere you have
to store the config and it's not just a matter of running `configure'
To me, the simplest way of storing that config is to chuck it in
a makefile, like the one that builds gas for i386:
BINDIR= /usr/libexec/elf
SRCS+= tc-i386.c
(yes, that's the entire makefile)
or alpha:
BINDIR= /usr/bin
SRCS+= tc-alpha.c
LDADD+= -L${RELTOP}/libopcodes -lopcodes
(more complicated).
The cross version would probably be significantly more complicated,
because it would have to specify the program name and target architecture.
(2 more lines?) Trying to automate this sounds like over-kill to me.
