Package: verse
Version: 0.22.8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

verse fails to cross build because:

- It hardcodes gcc in the Makefile rather than using
$(CC) which the cross build system could pass the host compiler
- It strips the verse binary using build architecture's strip.
IMHO this is not needed as we can simply let dh_strip do the job.

Please consider applying the attached patch.
