Nothing was left of xcompile when I took out the crosscompiling
detection, which isn't needed for flashrom. Makes sense.

I would love to simply remove the check. Then flashrom will be like
every other package I've seen.

The error message from compile or link commands (as run by make) is
IMHO far better than anything we can pretend to produce on our own.

If there is a library missing, the linker will make that clear.

Can we convince Stefan? :)
