This confused me for a moment (in fact I wondered if it shouldn't be the other way around), because I naively misunderstood the meaning of "build" (as in the architecture for which to build) and "host" (as in the host I'm building on), but after looking it up [1] it makes a lot more sense ;) > It's because it > derives it from gcc -print-multiarch.

Out of curiosity: That patch works because in a cross compilation CC will f.e. be aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc because that is set via the included /usr/share/dpkg/buildtools.mk, right? Initially I contemplated including /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk and somehow using DEB_TARGET_GNU_TYPE, but your patch seems much cleaner, so thanks a lot! Since this actually issue came up [2] some time ago upstream and the $(CC) bit could go there, do you want to submit this part of the patch or should I do this (preserving your authorship of course!)?
