chrony fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build
architecture compiler. The configure script expects cross builders to
supply a CC variable and feed uname results via --host-*. Since the
Debian package is only built for linux-any, We can pass
--host-system=Linux and ignore the other values as they are not relevant
on Linux.


I do intend to provide support for kFreeBSD in Buster though.

The attached patch implements that and makes chrony cross buildable.  
Please consider applying it.


Will do. Thanks a lot Helmut!


Helmut


Cheers,
