Sorry, but I don't see where the problem mentioned in the comment here
has been solved. Anything using host-qemu to help in cross-compilation
cannot work: it is very likely that the kernel headers used to build
the target toolchain are much more recent than the kernel running on
the build machine. Since the Qemu user-mode emulation works by
converting the target syscall into host syscall, it cannot work when
kernel headers are more recent than the kernel version running on the
build machine.

I don't see how this can be solved, it is a fundamental problem in the
approach.

I think docs/manual/deprecated-list.txt is automatically generated, so
it probably shouldn't be changed, but I guess Peter can fix that when
committing.

Since you haven't given any further comments on this since March, the
patch has been waiting in our patchwork queue.

While waiting for (hopefully) some solution, or comment from you, I'll
mark the patch as "Rejected" until we get to an agreement on how to
solve the cpanminus problem.

Thanks,

Thomas
