Research direction

Start with the linked BPO issue 36125 and its Cross-Build component details. The payload names no source files, target configuration, or tests, so first determine the failing cross-compilation scenario and relevant build entry points; done means a more featureful target with the same tune can be cross-compiled successfully.
