Subject: [PATCH] build: support setting an emulator from configure script
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

V8’s JIT infrastructure requires binaries such as mksnapshot to be run
during the build. However, these binaries must have the same bit-width
as the host platform (e.g. a x86_64 build platform targeting ARMv6 needs
to produce a 32-bit binary).

To work around this issue, allow building the binaries for the host
platform and running them on the build platform with an emulator.

Based on Buildroot’s nodejs-src 0001-add-qemu-wrapper-support.patch.
