+Handle cross build support for kconfig_compiler and kconf_update tools.
+
+Adapted from this patch:
+https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:rhabacker:branches:windows:mingw:win32:KF529/mingw32-kconfig/0001-Add-MinGW32-cross-compile-support-to-kconfig_compile.patch
+
+Contrary to reference above, paths to these tools are hardcoded in this package.
+If not, packages that depend on it will have to indicate each binary "native" paths in case
+of cross-build, since these cmake directive lines are always evalued at *their* build time.
