We want to remove xmkmf from Debian (see #873764). wmnet is a package
that uses xmkmf. Once we remove xmkmf, this bug will become release
critical. The attached patch implements a minimal build system inside
debian/rules to avoid using xmkmf. I verified that it produces an
identical package on amd64 up to build path and build ids using
reproducible builds.

Using xmkmf happens to break cross building.
