[Pkg-freeipmi-devel] Bug#879875: freeipmi FTCBFS: configure misdetetcs features using the build architecture cpp

freeipmi fails to cross build from source, because configure misdetects
some features, because it uses the build architecture cpp rather than
the host architecture one. This leads to compilation failures down the
road. The culprit is setting CPP with AC_PATH_PROG. After replacing path
with AC_PROG_CPP, the build succeeds, but the generation of manual pages
now fails, because that $(CPP) invocation assumes cpp semantics while
configure sets it to $ac_tool_prefix-gcc -E. So the attached patch also
sets up a CPP_FOR_BUILD to cover the manual pages. After applying it
freeipmi cross builds successfully. Please use it.
