As much as I hate to say this, it still loops. You can see failing
(cross) builds at http://crossqa.debian.net/src/netrek-client-cow. All
of them were terminated by manual intervention.

Remember: I'm not asking for netrek-client-cow to cross build. I'm
asking for it to fail sanely.

The current version loops like this:

| /bin/sh: 1: ./mkkey: Exec format error
| /bin/sh: 1: attempts: not found
| /bin/sh: 1: test: -le: unexpected operator

I don't know why this happens now and on what system but I thought the
last update of the possible-infinite-loop.patch was correct.

The problem is that the execution fails too early, effectively, so the countdown of attempts never works.

I have a patch which builds mkkey using the build CC, which makes the build fail earlier because we don't have libgmp, so that would fix the endless build ;-). Helmut, do we have any way of specifying native build-deps? IIRC we don't yet, is that still the case?

Regards,

Stephen
