In the repo amber tree, I grepped all 368 Makefiles and all 701 *akefile*
files - no xhost, ignoring case, in any of them.
One file that is not used in most (all?) situations has an -march:
./AmberTools/src/gleap/freelib/gtkglext/examples/Makefile.mingw:15:OPTIMIZE = -march=pentium -O2
There are 11 config.h files. But as Dave indicated ./config.h
is the only one that should matter.
There is 1 that hard codes xhost,
but that file is not used and probably should be removed:
./AmberTools/src/cphstats/config.h

A Unix operating system is an awesome tool.
When it comes to finding things in textual files, some of the greatest
programmers of all time (several of them Turing award winners), have
created softwares (and textbooks) that are still the best tools.
Learn find and grep.
