+Subject: [PATCH] build: Do not try to detect cross-compiler
+
+cross compilers are passed via path may not be a gcc based cross
+compiler in such cases this check fails and try's to force gcc based
+cross compiler detection, This code is a convenience that limits the
+build system

+Subject: [PATCH] Check if wordexp function is supported
+
+eglibc could be configured to build without wordexp, so it is not enough
+to check if wordexp.h exists (the header file could be installed, but it's
+possible that the wordexp() function is not supported).  An additional
+check if wordexp() is supported by the system C library is needed.
