Comment(by bernie):

 Replying to [comment:8 AlbertCahalan]:

 > For example, procps compiles on all Linux platforms. It doesn't need 250
 KB of slow shell scripts which check for useless stuff like a FORTRAN
 compiler. One can support MacOS and FreeBSD even, if one cares.

 Building C programs on several CPUs does not require extra care in the
 Makefile(s).

 Building for different OSes using different compilers, and especially
 cross-compiling, requires autoconf or a lot of manual effort for each
 new port.

 Checking for Fortran is libtool's fault.  But these days you can't
 afford to build shared libraries without libtool and hope to get it
 to work on fancy systems such as MacOS and Windows :-)

 If we don't care about this kind of portability, and certainly I don't,
 then simple Makefiles are more than enough.
