The patch unfortunatily no longer applies cleanly. Please consider
submitting changes to gnome packages as salsa merge requests. There is
simply noone able to keep up with the flood of (usually crappy) bug
reports in the bts for gnome so the very scarce occational patches gets
missed.

Please also note that this package *will* need to get revamed for
python3 because of python2-removal. If you have time to help out with
that it would be great, otherwise I'd recommend you postpone looking at
the cross-build issue again until the convertion to python3 has
happened.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
