this will create overhead when upstream adds a new tool or library, then downstream need to figure out what else to build instead of having this within package customization. the header issue is solved quite easily in v4, see [1], the only issue is pseh that cannot be built, I thought to attend to that later or remove it from top level configure. I will be very happy if you do not drop it.
