Supposedly, this has been addressed in cross-config, which supplies the relevant cache variable xorg_cv_malloc0_returns_null. sbuild automatically enables this cache. Accordingly, libx11 cross builds successfully in QA: https://crossqa.debian.net/src/libx11. Do you see any actionable aspect in this bug or can we close it? Adding the cache variable to each and every X11 library does not seem like an effective solution to me. I note that the cache is wrong on musl-any-any. Helmut

Bug#1010121: libx11: FTCBFS: cannot run test program while cross compiling
Source: libx11 Version: 2:1.7.5-1 Severity: wishlist While doing a test bootstrap of i386 from amd64, I ran into an error trying to cross build libx11: ... checking for xproto >= 7.0.25 xextproto xtrans xcb >= 1.11.1 kbproto inputproto... yes checking whether malloc(0) returns NULL... configure: error: in `/home/tmpbuilder/cross-i386/libx11/libx11-1.7.5/build': configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling See `config.log' for more details ... (This came up as a Build-Depends of groff, while trying to cross-compile enough packages to make debhelper installable.) -- Daniel Schepler
