Bug#775942: FTCBFS for multilib enabled architectures
Source: expat
Version: 2.1.0-6
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Trying to cross build expat for e.g. powerpc results in a build failure
during dh_strip. It built lib64expat1 using "gcc -m64" which produced
amd64 objects instead of ppc64 objects which powerpc-linux-gnu-strip
does not understand.
I am attaching a patch that changes the build inject a suitable CC
variable which makes cross building expat work.

Alternatively, the multilib packages could just be dropped (at least in
experimental), given that the only package currently Build-Depending on
them in the archive (gdb for its gdb64 package) has now stopped building
the package and I expect should stop Build-Depending on it soon in
experimental. This way we simplify our build processes, and move
further into using proper multiarch.
Attached patch does exactly that (only build tested).
(See #775948 for the progress on this.)
Thanks,

A new release is expected soon, will drop the packages then. Otherwise I'll drop those anyway in some days. Regards, Laszlo/GCS

That's great to hear, thanks! So after more than a year and a release later, maybe it's a good time to drop the packages now. According to popcon, the number of installations of these packages are in the noise, while libexpat1 is almost 100%. If you are busy or something I'd like to do an NMU in the next few days. Since you were OK with that option at the time, I guess that it's still OK on your side. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo
