Source: prctl Version: 1.7-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
prctl fails to cross build from source, because it does not pass --host to ./configure and thus configures for the build architecture. The easiest way of passing the flag - using dh_auto_configure - also passes dpkg's buildflags and makes prctl cross buildable. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience and recommend converting the package to a more modern debhelper usage. Helmut
