So far in this thread, I don't see any changes that would cause this
issue, and that patch shouldn't change things either. The bisection is
probably significant, but I am not sure what's going.

Also, in general please try to talk to us first before doing a change
like that (switching the order of cross_args) so we can investigate
and figure out what we should fix. The cross_args are at the end so
they can override existing arguments, such as -D flags or -W flags.

Another thing to try would be current git, which has significant
changes in how we do library resolution, de-duplication, and so on.
Specifically, instead of `-lfoo`, we now prefer full paths to the
library to use instead since this allows greater flexibility in
selecting whether to use shared or static libraries.

Cheers,
