Message #383 received at 49025 <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):

From: Maxime Devos <maximedevos <at> telenet.be>
To: 49025 <at> debbugs.gnu.org
Cc: othacehe <at> gnu.org, Maxime Devos <maximedevos <at> telenet.be>
Subject: [PATCH v4 core-updates 07/36] tzdata: Don't bother with
 cross-compiling.
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2021 17:04:29 +0200

The time zone database is architecture-independent,
so trying to cross-compile it is pointless!

* gnu/packages/base.scm
  (tzdata)[arguments]<#:target>: Set to #f.
  (tzdata)[allowed-references]: Only include the "out" output itself,
  to make sure no (architecture-dependent) binaries are installed.
