Argh, only kernel x-builds are supported on Fedora, checking if this is
the case with Debian, if this is supported there, one more Docker image
for building perf :-)

Cross-build GNU C compiler.

Only building kernels is currently supported.  Support for
cross-building user space programs is not currently provided as that
would massively multiply the number of packages.
