IMHO, it's best to use autotools only for systems programs, because that's
was it was designed for. It was designed to test the compatibility of
programs for a host it is currently installed on, which precludes most
small embedded micros.

I've made makefiles that just have conditional parts that work depending
on a global variable such as "MAKE_PC" or "MAKE_AVR".
