id-utils fails to cross build from source. Even though configure detects
the correct compiler, the make invocation from debian/rules forces the
build architecture compiler. If the CC environment variable is set,
configure would pick it up already and otherwise $(CC) simply becomes
"cc", which is wrong for cross builds. Dropping the assignment gets the
build a lot further.
The build still fails due to use of help2man. For that problem, there
are many different solutions with different tradeoffs:
* Stop using help2man and write real manual pages.
* Build twice. Once natively for help2man and once for real.
* Extract the --help output from the source by other means.
* Don't regenerate manual pages during build.
* Move manual pages to an arch:all packages.
Each of these has its own downsides. Do you have a preference?
In the mean time, please apply the attached patch and close this bug
when doing so.
