Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:18675 anthony.c.smith@…]:
 > Bug report #18187 claims to fix this issue in r47312 but I am continuing
 to have the problem.

 It turns out the claim was a little premature.

 The problem was that in the destroot phase, a script looks for the program
 tic.[[BR]]
 When not cross-compiling, it finds the version that was just build.[[BR]]
 When cross-compiling, the script is smart enough not to try and instead
 finds /usr/bin/tic, which hangs.

 #18187 claimed to fix the problem because, on the test machine, there was
 a previously installed ${prefix}/bin/tic which got the job done.

 r47439 is an attempt to fix the problem.[[BR]]
 Please let me know if it works.
