Dear Maintainer,

xsysinfo fails to cross build because it uses build compiler rather than
the host compiler while cross building.
Please consider applying the attached patch

Also, since this package has not been uploaded for ~10 years, which is a
fairly long time, I'll nmu this package post bullseye release, if
not uploaded on time.

Hi Nilesh,

Thank you for the patch.  Low-threshold NMUs are welcome, but I
appreciate the bug report and the patch.  I will apply and upload along
with the other changes that have accumulated in Salsa.

Cheers, and thanks!

I'm sorry. This doesn't just work. xmkmf has architecture-behaviour.
Simply swapping out the compiler is not going to fix that. xutils-dev is
wrongly marked Multi-Arch: foreign at present. Our devised solution is
to remove xmkmf from the archive. The right solution here is to replace
the build system with something sane. See #873764 for details. It's not
as easy unfortunately.
