Indeed, and that would work until, as Pavel points out, someone adds something naive and ill-informed like a `uname -r` (or `arch`) into the Makefile.
I'm not just trying to make the current version safe for cross-compilation, but all future versions too so I don't ever have to come back and fix this issue again.
You have no idea how many packages we had to make cross-compilation safe. Literally dozens. And some of them continue to have periodic regressions.
