+Aumix's src/Makefile.am incorrect adds @includedir@ to the list of
+include paths and @libdir@ to the list of libraries paths. This is
+incorrect, as @includedir@ and @libdir@ are respectively /usr/include
+and /usr/lib, even in cross-compilation mode.
+
+At the same time, use AM_CFLAGS instead of CFLAGS, as is done on the
+similar patch found in OpenEmbedded.
