It looked to me that I need to make a chroot, run the bootstrap script to build some kind of local bootstrap bobcat, build local icmake with that bobcat, build local bobcat with that icmake, build the icmake .deb, install it in a new chroot, build the bobcat .deb, then ideally build a clean icmake .deb again; and do that twice as two architectures need bootstrapping. This is much much much more than I'm going to do for random packages so I decided against it.

So maybe for unstable some issues recently appeared? Not sure what did you want to say here, sorry? By not being cross-buildable I mean they lack cross-building support, both at the packaging level (no proper M-A headers, no B-D annotation) and at the upstream level (the gcc running was not the cross one). > Also, the bootstrapping procedure is only required when icmake isn't avaialble > yet.
