This is *almost* certainly related to bug #178325 (LIBC_DEV value for libc12), but I don't see any obvious reason for it to be failing like this; the patch simply mimics and continues the prior pattern of testing in a cascade fashion for various things, before bailing to a default of libc6-dev, and I'm not at all sure why the following lines are not functioning in an equivalent manner:
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH), $(findstring $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),alpha ia64)) ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH), $(findstring $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),netbsd-i386)) -- Joel Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
