But RFS has a meaning.

That patch is a trivial patch. s/gcc /$(CC)/ one line.

Nonsense. Any architecture who can't built a single C file in this form is
nonsense and should not be included anywhere. This package does not need to be
cross compiled.

Says the one who relied on private headers in one of his packages and did not
fix 102124 immediately (and be it by removing the usage if private stuff, or
eventually the whole package) until I nicely added a -private-dev.
Or 1028130.
I can probably find more examples of your packages doing bad things. This is
not helpful on a package which might be a bit outdated and not updated but has
no big problem in itself.
