If you want to set default values for configure scripts to
share, you can create a site shell script called
config.site that gives default values for variables like
CC, cache_file, and prefix. configure
looks for PREFIX/share/config.site if it exists, then
PREFIX/etc/config.site if it exists. Or, you can set the
CONFIG_SITE environment variable to the location of the site
script. A warning: the Bash configure looks for a site script,
but not all configure scripts do.
