Exactly. If DEB_HOST_ARCH != DEB_BUILD_ARCH then make-kpkg
automatically adds the m68k-gnu-linux- prefix for cross compiling.
But building amd64 on i386 has to be done native with the
i486-linux-gnu-gcc (or just gcc) as it is not cross-compiling.
make-kpkg has the special --cross-compile='-' to tell it to use the
native gcc even if DEB_HOST_ARCH != DEB_BUILD_ARCH.
Could you apply the patch and check that 'DEB_HOST_ARCH=m68k debuild
-B -am68k' still works? If it breaks something I'm happy to fix
the patch.
