Apart from the "unsafe" comment, the only thing remaining is that you update building.html by running `make update-build-docs`. make/autoconf/configure line 298: > 296: exit 1 > 297: else > 298: echo "Warning: You are using unsafe autoconf cross-compilation > flags." The autoconf flags are not really unsafe, they are just misleadingly named. I'd rather see that you restore "legacy" in this output, and the conf_legacy_crosscompile variable name. ------------- Changes requested by ihse (Reviewer).
