           Summary: `bitbake xproto' fails on do_configue -- automake:

          Priority: P2

`bitbake xproto' fails on do_configue -- automake: unknown warning category
'cross'

This error from autoreconf seems to be quite common:
http://www.google.com/search?q=automake+unknown+warning+cross&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Is there perhaps a more general fix than fixing each package?  I have run into
it previously on a different package.
