It is possible for Automake to allow configuring specifically for GNU 
make because it delivers Makefile.in files which are substituted to 
produce the actual Makefiles.  This is feasable if the tweaks are 
relatively small and can be applied to Makefile.in by config.status 
(or some extra substitution script code).  It may be that large 
performance wins can be obtained via relatively simple changes.
