From my point of view, cpanminus should be marked as broken, or even
removed unless another solution that qemu is found. The usage of
host-qemu simply doesn't work: if the kernel headers used for the
toolchain built by Buildroot are newer than the kernel version on the
build machine, it will break... so it really isn't a viable solution.

Thanks,

Thomas
