+Subject: [PATCH] uim: run the native uim-module-manager against native plugins
 
+When cross compiling, scm/Makefile runs uim-module-manager to generate
+installed-modules.scm. Use the uim-module-manager from PATH (provided by
+uim-native) instead of the freshly cross-built one, and make its plugin
+search directory (LIBUIM_PLUGIN_LIB_DIR) overridable. Registration makes
+the tool dlopen the uim C plugins; if that points at the target .libs the
+native tool loads target objects and segfaults on a build host whose ABI
+differs from the target (e.g. x86-64 host, x86-64-v3 target). The recipe
+overrides UIM_PLUGIN_LIB_DIR to the native plugin directory.
+
+This extends the original scm/Makefile.am change by Bian Naimeng
+<biannm@cn.fujitsu.com>.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [cross-compile specific]
