these are external packages, which we cannot directly influence.

We can have local patches as a short-time solution.  But it is
supposed that the patches won't accumulate, they should be pushed
upstream.

Sometimes there are other solutions possible though:
When building frysk for Fedora Core, I faced certain problems with
the build system of elfutils (another problem with CFLAGS).
I was not able to convince Roland (the maintainer of elfutils) to
accept a solution for the problem.  But fortunatley, the long-term
plan for frysk on Fedora Core is to use elfutils as an external
package, skipping the copy embedded in frysk---and that way my
problem with elfutils' build system will simply disappear.
(Well, I'm afraid this success story won't help you much...)
