I guess you mean binutils-multiarch here; I submitted a patch in Debian #578365 to use a cross-objdump when cross-building. I expect objdump or cross-objdump should support the binaries which you're about to ship in a .deb. The only other case I can think of is when a package's build calls a non-default (cross-)compiler to generate a specific file, e.g. a firmware, in which case it might not be ELF at all. > [1] To discover SONAME, NEEDED, RUNPATH, and RPATH, one could parse > ‘eu-readelf --dynamic $file’ output. You might want to consider symbols as well as to have dpkg-shlibdeps and dpkg-gensymbols rely on the same underlying tool. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
