netkit-tftp fails to cross build from source, because it builds for the
build architecture. Nothing tells ./configure to use a cross compiler. A
simple way of doing so is exporting a suitable CC. We can defer that
task to dpkg's buildtools.mk. Then it fails, because it tries running
compiled binaries, which generally fails with an Exec format error
during cross compilation. After patching ./configure to avoid running
binaries, netkit-tftp cross builds successfully. Please consider
applying the attached patch.
