+From c1db93be859b360b64fe20d49a286278b56df64e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
+Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 12:56:36 +0100
+Subject: [PATCH] ninjabackend: do not fail if only the build machine uses C++
+
+This is caused by the introduction of the cpp_importstd option; while
+target_uses_import_std() tries to protect from the option not existing,
+this does not work if cpp_importstd exists but build.cpp_importstd does
+not, and get_option_for_target() wants to look at the latter.
+
+Just return false on a KeyError for simplicity.
+
+Fixes: #15497
+Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
