Hi Helmut, Thanks for your efforts in getting packages crossbuilded and nice to read from you.

I can consider to apply the patch you provided, but I would like to diverge as less from upstream as possible as I will likely need to rebase the patch then on next update again athough it's trivial it would be good to convince upstream on the issue.
