gffread fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build
architecture compiler as linker. The upstream Makefile stores the linker
in the non-standard LINKER variable, which dh_auto_build does not
supply. We'll have to supply it manually. Alternatively, you can propose
that upstream defaults LINKER to CXX (which should be sane almost
everywhere). I'm attaching a patch for supplying LINKER for your
convenience.
