Trying to cross build expat for e.g. powerpc results in a build failure
during dh_strip. It built lib64expat1 using "gcc -m64" which produced
amd64 objects instead of ppc64 objects which powerpc-linux-gnu-strip
does not understand.

I am attaching a patch that changes the build inject a suitable CC
variable which makes cross building expat work.

Alternatively, the multilib packages could just be dropped (at least in
experimental), given that the only package currently Build-Depending on
them in the archive (gdb for its gdb64 package) has now stopped building
the package and I expect should stop Build-Depending on it soon in
experimental. This way we simplify our build processes, and move
further into using proper multiarch.

Attached patch does exactly that (only build tested).

Would be possible to drop these packages now?

There are some ports in the works right now that would probably benefit
from this.


Cheers.
