Caused by server commit b5c367cd88e37091ab5f8dab0396c01c97d037e2 (MDEV-32815)

>From crossbuild logs


-- Performing Test HAVE_SYSTEM_LIBFMT
CMake Error: try_run() invoked in cross-compiling mode, please set the
following cache variables appropriately:
   HAVE_SYSTEM_LIBFMT_EXITCODE (advanced)
For details see /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/builddir/TryRunResults.cmake


libfmt9 was used looking at debian logs.

was in 10.0 -> 10.2.1 but will be fixed in the next release.


So invoking with  -DHAVE_SYSTEM_LIBFMT_EXITCODE=0 in a cross build
seems the best solution.

Because the error is so deep in libfmt there's not an easy way to
change from a run test back to a compile test.

Thanks.
