15 Ping. The discussion seems stalled while we're hitting increasing
16 number of packages that rely on CHOST to run *-config programs. My main
17 is that AFAICS this is the only upstream-compatible way of handling
18 this without hackery on our side.

20 As far as I understand, if you changed the CHOSTs only for non-native
21 ABIs (and therefore leaving the prefix used for toolchain unchanged)
22 the risk should be minimal.
