Re-arranging the code as I suggested at least /seems/ to work, but:

The ustar stuff seems to work - at least on my OS X 10.5.8 system.
I've checked into the main branch a change to move the AC_CANONICAL_xxx calls after AC_INIT and to un-comment the AC_CANONICAL_TARGET call. If that survives the Buildbot, and fixes cross-compilation (or, at least, fixes the cross-compilation problems with lemon) we might want to backport that to the 1.2.x branch.
The person who asked the original question might want to try the cross- compilation with the next tarball from the buildbot; that's not necessarily a version he'd want to use in production, but he'd at least be able to indicate whether the build succeeded - or, at least, got past the problem with lemon - and, if so, we can backport that change to the 1.2 branch and, if that doesn't fix the problem, work on fixing the remaining problems.
