From: Helmut Grohne <hel...@subdivi.de> f2fs-tools fails to cross build from source, because its upstream build system wrongly uses AC_CHECK_FILE. The purpose of the macro is checking for files on the host system. However here it is used to check whether a .git directory exists, which is a property of the build place. A simple "test -d" should be used here. After doing so, f2fs-tools cross builds successfully.
