+Subject: [PATCH 6/6] unix/configure: borrow the LFS test from autotools.
+
+Infozip's LFS check can't work for cross-compilation
+since it try to run a target's binary on the host system.
+
+Instead, use to LFS test used by autotools which is a
+compilation test.
+(see autotools/lib/autoconf/specific.m4)
