    It makes it difficult to clean the package or build it twice in a row.
    Instead, 50_link_with_glu.patch has been updated to directly patch
    configure and the Makefile.in files. Also, config.sub and config.guess are
    symlinked at build time.

Is there a simple solution for that? I don't remember the details about
what failed when I introduced the patch.
