Description: Can't crosscompile
Details:
Hi,
8.0.0beta4 can't be crosscompiled (I know that's hardly mainstream usage --
but I need the client libs on a PDA) because it tries to run the zic binary
it generated for the target platform rather than the build platform.
Quick and dirty [and not really portable] patch:
