The patch tool will apply patches by default with "fuzz", which is where if the
hunk context isn't present but what is there is close enough, it will force the
patch in.
Whilst this is useful when there's just whitespace changes, when applied to
source it is possible for a patch applied with fuzz to produce broken code which
still compiles (see #10450). This is obviously bad.
We'd like to eventually have do_patch() rejecting any fuzz on these grounds. For
that to be realistic the existing patches with fuzz need to be rebased and
reviewed.

If the target and host have the same type, the system
may try to execute the instructions from the target
version. This can lead to illegal instructions
as well as the wrong copy of the code running.
Add CROSSPYTHONPATH for PYTHON_FOR_BUILD and export
the correct path to fix it.
