Then quite a few things need to be fixed:
 - host tool generation (signrom, I think there were several approached
   under discussion - but what is preferred now?)
 - disabling the build for incompatible tool chains (mingw32?)
 - do not automatically copy stuff into the source dir (absolute no-go
   if you want to keep it clean from build outputs)

So for now I would simply disable the build - unless I missed that there
are already patches pending to fix all this.
