-# This patch removes the hard dependency on backtrace by checking for
-# it at compile time and adds a cross-compile /proc check.
-# Patch given to me by Hisham <hisham.hm@gmail.com> (htop-general)

-# This patch is taken from upstream svn (r213, r215)
+# This patch removes the check for native_affinity for cross compiling.
+# This patch has been pushed to htop on 23 November 2011, however, is
+# not in the 1.0 release and may not be exactly what Hisham puts into
