Hi Paul,

Here is a patch that worked in an x86 docker container with an arm64
cross compiler.

Can we just assume that crc will always be used and depend on
build-cc.m4? I guess the more robust way to do things is to do the
following in bootstrap.conf:

    bootstrap_post_import_hook ()
    {
      $gnulib_tool --copy-file m4/build-cc.m4
    }

Like we do for tests/init.sh.

Collin
