(except for the other problems you mention below) the sequence I use
is:
	$ aclocal && autoconf && automake -c -a -i
and when I'm ready to build:
	$ ./configure [options]

yeah, my preferences are showing through... I'm not familiar with
OpenBSD.  the only boxes I have are Linux, Solaris, and Win32.
nasm.h does the right thing for a.out formats but the Makefile.am
is not flexible enough.

also, there is no intention to make it build only on gnu make, it's
just that since that's all I use, I don't catch the things you
mentioned.

the patches should be minor but I don't think I could guess it
all correctly without a system to test it on.  can you submit
such a patch?  it would be much appreciated.

Josh
