Re: [Bug-hurd] [pathc] oskit-mach build fix

[Roland McGrath]

There are several issues with your patch.

You should not use $(...) in configure scripts or GNU makefiles.
It is not portable.  Use `...` instead, and know the quoting issues.

You have not stated what problems you had with the old setting of
OSKIT_LIBDIR, so I am dubious about your complex changes to how that is
done, and your change of the meaning of the variable.

I would never suggest setting LIBRARY_PATH.  That is a bizarre
compatibility variable.  The setting of CC ought to be sufficient.
Use -L options in the CC setting if that is appropriate.

The -L switches you added in the linking rules should not be required.
If the configure check succeeds, that means the CC setting suffices.
