tfortune fails to cross build from source. The immediate failure is
failing to find the lopsub library since it configures for the build
architecture. This happens as no --build nor --host is passed which
would have happened automatically if dh_auto_configure could be used.
Thus it'll have to be passed manually. Then configure fails finding
config.h.in, which for some reason is not created (nor asked for) by the
override_dh_autoreconf. And finally, the actual Makefile does not pick
up the compiler detected by configure and rather uses plain cc, so we'll
have to tell it as well. All in all, the build system is quite arcane
and requires many fiddles to make it work properly. I'm attaching a
patch for your convenience and generally recommend using something more
standard if possible.
