Thank you for caring about cross builds.

I don't think having me test your branches is an efficient process. Can
I propose the following alternatives?

 * If you are using sbuild, add --host=somearch.
 * If you are using pbuilder, add --host-arch somearch.
 * If you are using salsa, enable salsa-ci and check the cross build.
 * If you use none of the above, upload and check
   https://crossqa.debian.net/src/original-awk.
 * If you feel that all of this is too much work, close my FTCBFS bug
   with a note "upstream build system significantly changed, patch no
   longer applicable". I'll send a new patch eventually.

This applies to all kinds of FTCBFS bugs filed by me.
