Included. Thanks!

The cross-compiling detection is only important for more involved
builds, i.e. if there are code generators to be compiled and used,
or if there are checks which would try to run a cross-compiled
program when in non-cross mode.

That's why it doesn't really matter for the majority of packages.

You can't overlook such issues, so I don't think this a problem.

However, feel free to provide a patch that adds our Wine hack
to all packages which are affected - but only to their cross
builds, not their native builds!
