+The installation of the sudoers plugin fails when cross compiling, because it
+tries to run the cross-compiled visudo, rather than that of the host.
+
+The visudo invocation is only required in order to sanity check any existing
+sudoers file in the target directory; this can safely be dispensed with.
+
+This is a backport of commit 8209:0c4e3f68b2f5 from upstream.
+
+N.B. The upstream fix will appear in sudo 1.8.6; when the Buildroot package
+is bumped to version 1.8.6 (or higher), then this patch will no longer be
+required.
