Don't add multiarch paths The add_multiarch_paths() function leads, in certain build environments, to the addition of host header paths to the CFLAGS, which is not appropriate for cross-compilation. This patch fixes that by simply removing the call to add_multiarch_paths() when we're cross-compiling. Investigation done by David .
