a bit out of context here, but still: The disable-metadata flag is
confusing, because it does not disable metadata entirely. We had to
patch the makefile, to disable build of mateparse. While this is
basically setup correctly for cross compilation, we had some problems,
if the HOSTCC version did not match the CC version.
I am not entirely sure what the problem was, only that we did not care,
because we don't need metaparse end disabling it was simpler than fixing
the build.

Long story short: "--disable-metadata" should completely disable
metadata parsing, not only document generation
