Description Saul Wold 2011-03-10 11:53:02 UTC 
During the autoconf and autoreconf process, we pass a -Wcross to the autoconf and that is tranlated to --warnings=cross to automake.
Comment 1 Nitin Kamble 2011-05-09 08:39:55 UTC 
will look into it while upgrading automake.
Comment 2 Saul Wold 2012-05-24 14:25:32 UTC 
A good example is: libfm-0.1.17-r3/temp/log.do_configure

autoreconf: running: automake --foreign --add-missing --copy --force-missing --warnings=cross
automake: unknown warning category `cross'

I think your recent changes are close, it might be upstreamable
Comment 4 Constantin Musca 2012-09-11 07:06:40 UTC 
Adapted autoconf to pass --warning=cross to automake only if supported.
