scrollz fails to cross build from source, because it configures for the
build architecture. While it does use dh_auto_configure and thus passes
--host, the ./configure is too old to understand that flag and needs a
CC environment variable. The attached rules.patch fixes that. Then it
determines that getaddrinfo is buggy even though it isn't. The relevant
check is pessimistic and assumes that during cross compilation,
getaddrinfo will never work effectively breaking cross compilation. The
check cannot be run during cross, so the only reasonable way out is to
assume that a cross builder uses a sane libc and thus assume getaddrinfo
to work. Therefore, cross.patch flips the fallback value. After applying
it, you'll have to autoreconf the package as it does not build from
source by default.
