Hello,
I have a Makefile.am that creates a Makefile that does 3 compiles, one for
each target CPU.
 # src/event/Makefile.am
AM_LDLAGS  = --Pedantic -Wall -Std=C99 -O2
bin_PROGRAMS =
include x64.am
include arm.am
include i686.am
---------------------------------------
# src/event/x64.am
bin_PROGRAMS      += event_x64
event_x64_SOURCES  =  event.c
event_x64_CFLAGS   = -m64
---------------------------------------
# src/event/i686.am
bin_PROGRAMS       += event_i686
event_i686_SOURCES  =  event.c
event_i686_CFLAGS   = -m32
---------------------------------------
# src/event/arm.am
bin_PROGRAMS      += event_arm
event_arm_SOURCES  =  event.c
event_arm_CFLAGS   = -DARM
event_arm_CC       =  arm-linux-gnu-gcc
AM_CC              =  arm-linux-gnu-gcc

My problem is my gcc on my Fedora 23 does not support the '-marm', so I
need to change the CC flag.
Using event_arm_CC or AM_CC does not work.

How to change the compiler?

I don't any experience with cross compilation, but AIUI what you try
to achieve doesn't fit in the Autotools model.

What you have to do is to provide a generic build instruction:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
bin_PROGRAMS = event
event_SOURCES = event.c
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then when running './configure' you have to define the "--build",
"--host", and "--target" options according to the architecture you want
compile [1][2].  If you want to automate this process for multiple
architectures, you have to create a script running './configure ... &&
make' multiples times

I am closing this bug.  If you have questions regarding cross
compilation with Automake feel free to ask them on <automake <at> gnu.org>.

Thanks.
