hey Bastian,
Please explain what you mean by "can be patched away".
Are you implying we should hardcode the results of these scripts?
I don't personally like that approach since it looks like we'd be
removing safety checks and adding assumptions about the toolchain.
I suppose we could setup dependencies for the headers package to
enforce a matching toolchain, but that sounds like a portability
regression.
Of course, I don't think I've ever correctly guessed what you are
implying, so that's probably not it :)
