It isn't a problem - this is a workaround patch. Guillem doesn't want
the external lookup involved in the workaround, he wants an internal
solution. The perl version simply needs to implement the functionality
of setup_cross which, in turn, needs to setup and use a directory of
symlinks that are only in the PATH when cross-compiling and which allow
the command line paths passed to the cross-compiler to be manipulated
in real time to set the actual location of the cross header and -dev
package contents.
$args =~ s,/usr/include/,/usr/$arch_type/include/;
where $arch_type is "arm-linux-gnu", for example, retrieved from
dpkg-architecture (which in turn is set by the -a switch).
That functionality is available as gccross in the dpkg-cross source at
the moment and could be implemented that way in dpkg -
dpkg-buildpackage just needs to setup the PATH to put the directory
containing gccross first.
