Indeed arm-linux-uclibc- should do. It was just out of habit (and the fact I copy pasted it from "which") > Also, won't that request 'arm-linux-uclibc-ld' & co? In theory it > should ... It does, and I believe this is correct. This makes sure you are linking with the uClibc libc from the toolchain. > > And then compile the package with dpkg-buildpackage -b -aarm -rfakeroot, > > I plan to implement 'arm-uclibc' architecture (and other *-uclibc > architectures) that will do cross-compilation with uclibc at dpkg-cross > level. However, I can't predict when I'll have the time :). That would be great, but I already noticed it will take a fair amount of work.

The easy, lazy and not so good work-around is just ignoring it for the moment (thus uncommmenting it out in the (em)debian/rules file.)
