Build failure: docbook2X (cross-compilation) #419917

@synalice

Description

@synalice

Nixpkgs version

  • Unstable (25.11)

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs
cd nixpkgs
git checkout nixpkgs-unstable
nix-build -A docbook2x --arg crossSystem '{ config = "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"; }'

Additional context

The upstream docbook2X-0.8.8.tar.gz INSTALL file states this:

The docbook2X package supports VPATH builds (building in a location other than the source directory), but any newly generated documentation will not end up in the right place for installation and redistribution.
Cross compilation is not supported at all.
