Thanks for the patch.  I've checked this doesn't introduce any 
regressions (package itself builds for x86_64, i686, and aarch64, as 
well as x86_64 dependents that don't already FTBFS), and it's nice to be 
able to drop the cross-build patch.

We have about 3,500 packages that depend on bc, including several web 
browsers, so we'll probably need to find a suitable staging branch to 
apply this patch to.
