No patch is necessary.  All you need to do to cross-compile is generate
a "size and alignment file" with information about data sizes, structure
alignment, etc., and put the target C compiler's include files on the
host system, if any are needed.

This should work with any robust K&R type C compiler, but the C code
generated by C++ is *nasty*, so "robust" is the key word.
