Yep. The stroke fonts can't be cross-compiled; the build process
compiles the font tools (splitfont and font_2_bin) then tries to run
them to compile the fonts. Obviously, this won't work if the font
tools were built for a different platform.

What it should probably do is to install the tools, the raw font data,
and a script, so that the process can be completed after everything
has been installed on the target system.

There is a similar issue with the datum shift grids used by PROJ.
