I've made a change to libtool which requires that I set PACKAGE_AUTORECONF =
YES to many of the library packages. Rather than changing each package, I'd
like to force this globally. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks

Sydney, All,

No, there is no global setting that forces that behaviour.
You'll have to hack the autotools infra. See in package/pkg-autotools.mk at 143:
139 ifndef $(2)_AUTORECONF
140 ifdef $(3)_AUTORECONF
141 $(2)_AUTORECONF = $$($(3)_AUTORECONF)
142 else
143 $(2)_AUTORECONF ?= NO
144 endif
145 endif
You may want to change that "NO" to a "YES"
But beware, here be dragins...
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

In theory, there should be no dragons.
In practice, lots and lots of package to not autoreconf properly, so
you're going to face a *lot* of build failures by forcing autoreconf on
all packages.
Best regards,
Thomas
