Bug#900673: ibutils FTCBFS: abuses AC_CHECK_FILE
Source: ibutils
Version: 1.5.7+0.2.gbd7e502-1
Tags: patch upstream
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
ibutils fails to cross build from source, because it abuses
AC_CHECK_FILE to discover includes. AC_CHECK_FILE is meant for
discovering files on the host machine, but here it is being used for
discovering files on the build machine. A simple test -f is better and
makes ibutils cross buildable. Please consider applying the attached
patch.
