bug#62097: Libaio on core-updates

[Andreas Enge]

Libaio has started to fail on core-updates; this is very annoying since:
Building the following 1068 packages would ensure 2078 dependent packages are rebuilt,
among which qt@5 and gnome.

Here is the result of "git bisect":
0ad86e94f518c70690641c1d6f3a04037974a25b is the first bad commit

    gnu: libstdc++: Fix cross-compilation.
    * gnu/packages/gcc.scm (make-libstdc++): Adjust 'hide-gcc-headers' for
    cross-compiled libstdc++.

Hm, that is supposed to only affect cross compilation, but apparently it broke
something on native compilation for x86_64.

bug#62097: Spurious error

[Andreas Enge]

I do not know which error I made, but libaio *does* build with the
current core-updates HEAD. Sorry for the noise.
