New comment by GitMensch on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/45629#issuecomment-1683363850 Comment: Ah, the extras directory and cross compile! No, it is not necessary and it can be created on the target system after install. It may be possible to create a post install step to do so. Background: extras contains COBOL sources which are compiled by the generated cobc. The following options exist to handle that: * ignore those files (currently there is only one) * create and install them on the target system manually, if needed * create and install them via the package manager as post install step on the target system * have a host version of the same GnuCOBOL version installed and use that to do the compile and link with cross-compile options
