Source: binutils-mipsen Version: 6+c2 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
binutils-mipsen fails to cross build from source. The failure is quite late in the build, but the cause is early: dpkg-buildpackage does not honour DEB_HOST_* variables. Instead, one must explicitly pass -a to forward the host architecture into the inner package build. Nextup, zlib1g-dev is missing in Build-Depends. A native builds succeeds, because it is a dependency of binutils-source, but since that package is Multi-Arch: foreign, this doesn't help cross builds. Beyond this, it would be good to forward the build options nocheck and parallel into the inner build to speed it up. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
