The remove_CXX_FOR_BUILD-stuff patch can be trimmed to just modify configure.ac and tools/Makefile.am, the other files will be regenerated at do_configure and patching them can cause conflicts if upstream ever makes a new release. Also please explain clearly why that has to be removed in the patch header because usually we need to patch *in* the _FOR_BUILD macros: I was curious and ended up looking at the build to understand why. AFAICT it's because upstream if cross-compiling it refuses to build target tools and will only build host tools so the test suite can run, but disabling the tests and patching out CXX_FOR_BUILD we can build target tools. The downside is that we have no test suite, which is useful (see the ptest class). Thank you for being the first person in a long time to actually submit the recipe to the community! Ross
