Hi,
build-essential currently has unsatisfiable cross-build dependencies,
because python3 is lacking :any. Here is an example of a failed attempt
to install B-Ds:
$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64
$ apt-get -s --arch-only -ai386 build-dep build-essential=11.6
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3:i386 : Depends: python3.4:i386 (>= 3.4.1-1~) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: python3-minimal:i386 (= 3.4.1-1) but it is not going
to be installed
Depends: libpython3-stdlib:i386 (= 3.4.1-1) but it is not going
to be installed
Depends: dh-python:i386 but it is not installable
E: Build-dependencies for build-essential=11.6 could not be satisfied.
$
Since build-essential only uses python3 as a tool during the build
process, it should select the build version of python3 by marking it
with :any. Please consider the attached patch.
