I will skip embedding. And stick with AC_PATH_PROG. To do cross-build of just libdwarf, I am pondering the idea of two step: create empty directories stage1, stage2. cd stage1 /a/b/libdwarf/configure --enable-stage1 cd ../stage2 /a/b/libdwarf/configure --enable-stage2=../stage1 ... What the GNU Autoconf (copyright 2004) book calls Canadian Cross for stage2. I'm not sure this will actually be workable ... or acceptable to most people. Does it appear acceptable?
