I've always treated the situation as "Cross-compilation doesn't work,
build on the target platform, using a VM if you have to", and I
suspect a lot of folks have approached the status quo the same way.
So if there are functions you can change to make cross-compilation
actually work without requiring changes to a lot of other projects,
that seems like a good thing to me.
Cheers,
Nick.
