I like how you use G-exp in build expressions to fix cross-compilation issues. I'd like to apply your patches to review them more closely, but I'm having some troubles applying them from GNUS. Did you use "git send-email" or another mechanism? It would also be great if we could manage to have meson cross-compile binaries for armhf/aarch64. As we do not have many substitutes for those architectures, being able to cross-compile fully-featured images has been a goal of mine for many years. In the meantime, I applied the 35th patch hoping to fix Cuirass evaluations on the core-updates branch. Thanks, Mathieu
