What's the preferred way of doing this for things like enabling the use of
system malloc for a given architecture?

XEmacs on PPC64 Linux crashes without system malloc and I'd like to enable it
permanently.  Is burying this info in a sea of case statements within
configure.[in|ac] any better that using s&m files?
