Which way do you prefer to avoid adding this flag? having environment variable or --disable-xxx?
You've brought up two different issues. For CFLAGS, I agree it could be improved. Not sure what's the best way is, but the main thing is to let CFLAGS be a user setting, following the coding standard. There could be an option to enable or disable the maintainer's (i.e. my) choice of additional warning flags.
The libdir issue is a different thing. The automatic hack only affects the *default* libdir, and is already overridable with the standard option --libdir=... In that case, I see little point in a new special option to disable the current behavior. What might make sense, if you convince me that the automatic selection really is an inappropriate default, is to enable it explicitly by using --libdir=auto.
And I'd still like to know if the there's been any related multiarch improvements in autoconf's default behavior recently.
