After much investigation, that error seems to be caused by a failure
to detect cross-compilation of libstdc++v3. I haven't been able to set
the cross-compile explicitly, and after a process of elimination, it's
the ehstatic.patch that is causing this, but I can't see where. There
are other errors (with pthreads) if this patch is simply excluded.

Oddly, not applying any of the patches allows the entire environment
to build successfully with much the same results across platforms as
the latest dev version. I'm not sure if the resulting
libraries/binaries will function correctly without the patches, but a
simple sqlite.exe works.
