There are ways to pass such flags to the crossdev command, but I found
that method somewhat fiddly, perhaps because I was just about to learn
crossdev but also because there are multiple compiler stages involved
that sometimes need different options (floating point support and other
things were broken back then too). So patches seemed simpler and more
reliable to me. :)
