AutoGen assumes its output is to be made read-only.
Do not forget to "chmod +w ..." _before_ you start the "cvs update" :)
I cannot answer for automake.
The make rules for yacc/lex would have to be fixed a bit.
I am sure you will have to have all the relevent tools,
turn off write permission and then run the tools to see what happens.

Jeff?: Please forward to egcs@egcs.cygnus.com I am unable to use
my remailer right now :)

Thanks,    
Bruce
