Hm, IIRC 42.1 predates any crc support from our side, so I wouldn't be
very surprised if things break.
If you say "you" are expected to just work, does that mean gcc? In that
case, I would expect that the header you're looking for gets detected by
configure and crc should be optionally disabled if it can't find it?
Again, I'm fairly confident that even binutils in 42.1 doesn't know how
to assemble crc instructions. That only came later.
