[vorbis-dev] Can't compile CVS with non-gcc compilers

[Jeff Squyres]

Without "no-dependencies" in every single Makefile.am's AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS
line, automake will put gnu-specific instructions that will barf a) if you
don't use gmake, and b) don't use gcc.

This is actually in the automake manual, section 7.11, page 26 -- it's not
an unexpected thing:

        "Currently, this support [automatic dependency generation]
        requires the use of GNU make and gcc."

As such, if you try to compile with Sun make or Sun cc, you can't.  The
compile of any of the vorbis packages (ao, ogg, vorbis, vorbis-tools)
barfs almost immediately due to unknown flags passed to the compiler.

Can this be fixed?
