Thank you for taking the time to write a patch for this problem. In
working on packaging the latest upstream release, I've noticed that the
configure script has diverged from the affected code.

With the 0.43 release (uploading soon to unstable), it should be
possible to cross-build by defining ENABLE_MIRROR_ARGS on linux-any and
kfreebsd-any.
