I think that changes that should be present into 4.x branch, should be 
done into 4.x and them merged upward. IMHO there will be no troubles to 
compile package targetted to 5.x into 4.x buildtree (except dependency 
troubles) - so it's just required to use 5.x rules for source configure 
call (don't forget --host and --build specifying and so on) when working 
on package into 4.x branch.
