frobby fails to cross build from source, because it does not pass any
cross tools to make. The easiest way of doing so - using dh_auto_build -
mostly fixed this. It still fails stripping with the build architecture
strip, which is hard coded in the upstream Makefile. Such stripping also
breaks DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip as well as generation of -dbgsym
packages. Hence, it is best to avoid doing so. I'm attaching a patch to
fix all of the above for your convenience.
