+Subject: [PATCH] fix pythondir for multilib when cross compiling
+
+In case of cross compiling + multilib, the 'shell python3' line is
+not likely to give out correct result. Make use of pythondir instead.
+
+This patch is related to meta/recipes-devtools/automake/automake/0001-automake-Update-for-python.m4-to-respect-libdir.patch
+in oe-core, so this one is marked as oe specific.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [OE Specific]
