Thanks Steve,

I have applied the patch to our GIT repo [1]. The fix should be available in
the next package upload of cron (version 3.0pl1-122).

Bug#666892: cron: Cross-building support for cron

Hi guys,

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to add support for cross-building
cron.  cron has a very simple build system, so it's a very simple patch; all
that's required to let cron cross-build is to tell the makefile where the
cross-compiler is.

Please consider including this patch in Debian as well.
