+This patch is needed, otherwise the sanity test for cpp fails on cross builds:
+
+configure:5267: aarch64-linux-gnu-cpp    -Wall -Wshadow -g -pedantic-errors -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include conftest.c
+In file included from /usr/include/features.h:489,
+                 from /usr/include/bits/libc-header-start.h:33,
+                 from /usr/include/limits.h:26,
+                 from conftest.c:13:
+/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:11: fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory
+    7 | # include <gnu/stubs-32.h>
+      |           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+compilation terminated.
+
+Normally, this isn't an issue with the compiler itself, because we have a
+wrapper that discards bad -I flags, but we don't have a cpp wrapper.
