-Subject: [PATCH] Fix two errors when cross-compiling with Vala
-
-- AttributeError: 'ValaCompiler' object has no attribute 'get_program_dirs'
-
-  Fixed by adding a `get_program_dirs()` function to the base Compiler
-  class, to match `get_library_dirs()`
-
-- KeyError: 'vala_COMPILER'
-
-  Fixed by creating the Vala compile rules for all machines, not just
-  the build machine.
