Removing hardcoded paths is always great, but packaging has changed
and *-cross.mk has been merged with native ones.

See
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/b/binutils/current/changelog
and
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/g/gcc-4.4/current/changelog

If the patch gets upgraded to latest packaging it might be worth
include it in Debian packaging.
