Source: efibootmgr
Version: 14-1
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: rebootstrap
efibootmgr fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build
architecture pkg-config and thus fails finding efivar.h. The cause is
that debhelper simply passes cross compilers for CC and CXX, but the
build system of efibootmgr expects setting CROSS_COMPILE instead. Thus
the attached patch opts out of dh_auto_build and explicitly sets up
CROSS_COMPILE. Please consider applying it.

debhelper now passes PKG_CONFIG and efibootmgr picks that up. Therefore
cross builds succeed now:

Closing the bug.
