Hi Team,

With the latest gnulib incorporated into diffutils the follow build
error occurs when cross compiling.

checking for strcasecmp... yes
checking whether strcasecmp works... configure: error: in '/var/media/DATA/home-rudi/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-13.0-devel/build/diffutils-3.12/.x86_64-libreelec-linux-gnu':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See 'config.log' for more details

The same is occuring with nano 8.4 build - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?66978

This is occuring with Ubuntu 24.04.

Regards
Rudi
