I'm coming in late to the game here and I'm just an autotools user but
I do deal with test-writing and pkg-config. Where can I read about
what on earth changed and what this warning means? What triggers it vs
what is the "new way to do it correctly"? Is it something that affects
standard autoconf macros or only ones I might write myself? For
example, I know what a host triplet is, but what kind of tools are
"cross-tools"?
