Then everything that has to do with cross-compiling should be stripped off
mesa. I'm pointing the infamous "--enable-XXbit" flags here. I've been using
--host for a long time to circumvent limitations/problems encountered with the
--enable-XXbit flags (but you have to set some other variables to have a proper
build).
We should seriously consider taking a decision about cleaning the
--enable-XXbit flags off. Either we fix it properly (which doesn't seem to be
happening even with the many patches laying around) or we strip it completely
and we let the builder set the proper environment variables to do the job.</pre>
