The cross-compilation test is based on the ability to run
a test program on the host, which is wrong.
If it runs, then the configure script concludes
that we're doing native compilation,
if it doesn't run, we're doing cross-compilation.
The configure script needs to be regenerated to fix the
cross-compilation test.

Looks like the patch file itself got lost in this revision...

Thanks to the advice of ThomasP, the patch file is no longer necessary
since the configure script is regenerated correctly by autoconf.
I tested this patch in the same conditions as for ncftp build errors
(with a chrootwhere ncurses was not installed on the host)
Best regards,
Romain

OK, now I understand.
I'm going to send a follow-up patch to clarify this. Otherwise, an
eventual version bumper will have a hard time understanding what is going on.

You are right, the problem is not obvious and
I should have written a comment in addition to the commit log.
I wonder if any other packages can be affected by this issue ?
At least we know that autoconf 2.13 is not safe for cross-compilation...
Thank you for clarifying this issue :)

Romain

The first autoconf version after 2.13 is 2.50, and this solves the
cross-compilation issue (see release notes). 2.50 was released on May 21,
2001. Seems unlikely that there are many packages that are distributed
with such an ancient autoconf...
Regards,
Arnout
