Frankly any build system that has a 35K configure file needs revisiting.
No package is so complex as to require that much setup. OS specific code
should be dealt with some appropriate ifdefs in the source and libraries
and linking should be a few 10s of lines.

Back in the day packages used to hve different preprepared Makefiles for
each system they could build on and IME that tended to work a lot better
than configure scripts that tried to figure things out on the fly.
