Control: affects -1 + src:gmpc

gmpc fails to cross build from source, because it fails running gob2,
which is installed for the host architecture. That looks wrong and the
typical fix is marking gob2 Multi-Arch: foreign. I've spent a brief look
and it seems like gob2 turns a c-ish language into c source code.  If I
understand that correctly, the output is architecture-independent.
(Only the compiled c would become architecture-dependent.) Thus the
marking would be correct. Please consider applying the attached patch.
