Control: reassign -1 src:gcc-8 Control: tags -1 + patch Hi Matthias,
I've updated the patch now. It has become fairly trivial. We added support for "X-DH-Build-For-Type: target" a while ago. That flag alone makes dh_strip choose the right tooling. So whenever debhelper is recent enough, we can just skip the binutils-multiarch dependency.

No cross_strip is needed at all anymore as X-DH-Build-For-Type has taken care of this. > I think that the rather simplistic view of dh_strip should be addressed in > this context too, always using the non-prefixed binutils tools.

Whenever they do, we can simply split the packages. debhelper and dh_strip now support selecting host vs. target per binary package and we're actively using that support since gcc-7. Helmut
