Source: tcl-fitstcl
Version: 2.4-3
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
tcl-fitstcl fails to cross build from source, because upstream
intentionally broke cross building support. They actively override
autoconf's compiler detection and error out when detecting cross
compilation. Once forcing the right compiler and removing the stupid
error though, it cross builds just fine. It just works. The attached
patch implements it. Is that acceptable despite upstreams aversion of
cross building?
