Source: libtar Version: 1.2.20-6 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap
libtar fails to cross build from source, because it doesn't pass --host to configure. Ultimately, dh_strip fails operating on build architecture ELF objects. In the attached patch, I move libtar to using dh_auto_configure, which knows the right flags. After that, the build still fails due to stripping via install -s with the build architecture strip. Removing the -s flag also means that a -dbgsym package will be created. Please consider applying the patch as it makes the cross build succeed. Helmut
