Hello Magnus,

As the author of the build changes I will answer this.

I can agree with this part. That was a bit of a hack done in a hurry.

Here I'm not as sure. I deliberately let it be possible to override the 
default behavior for zero as someone might want to fix that at some 
point, you never know. For cross compilation it's just not possible ever 
so that's different. Maybe my reasoning is invalid.
