On a semi-related note, a bump in cross compiling postfix is the
postconf command used in the postfix-install script. The script calls
postconf to get mail version, config directory, installed defaults and
to prepare main.cf for installation. However, in a cross compile
environment, the bin/postconf binary is for a different architecture
than the build host and therefore does not work.
I have seen people patch postfix-install and replace bin/postconf with
/usr/bin/postconf - requires postfix to be already installed in the
build machine - to work around the issue.
Any suggestions on what would be a good/acceptable solution? Or even
whether it is worth the trouble?
