Whilst this is technically correct, it is not a good solution. xmille
uses xmkmf as its build system and detects build architecture features
that can leak into the build. We considered that xmkmf is not reasonably
fixable and should be removed instead. See #873764 for why. We consider
any use of xmkmf a normal bug now. Can you maybe write a patch that
replaces the build system with something non-ancient?
