perl-cross 1.1.0 is not mature (11 issues opened on september), it is
a full refactor, there are already 19 commits after this tag.

I never bump a perl version 5.x.0, I always wait the version 5.x.1

If you really need a perl 5.24.0, cross-compiled it with
perl-5.24.0-cross-1.0.3.

When I bump a perl version, I run on target the full Perl test suite
(~ 800 000 tests), and failures are not expected.
With cross-perl 1.0.3 and 1.1.0 tags, there have failures described in
https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross/issues/33

Please, revert this commit.

François
