Hey Helmut, > libfiu fails to cross build from source for multiple reasons. The > immediate failure arises from trying to use ldd to determine the libc > soname. ldd operates by running the target object and that's something > we cannot do during cross compilation. I propose inspecting the object > using objdump instead. Once that is resolved, the Python stuff is being > built for the build architecture as no cross compilation settings are > passed. The easiest way of doing this - using dh_auto_* things with the > pybuild buildsystem - fixes this while also reducing the rules file. > Last but not least, make install computes compiler flags depending on > the compiler and since dh_auto_install does not pass cross tools, make > install tries to rebuild everything as it perceives a change in flags. > We may simply export cross tools for all targets.

Adding Alberto (upstream) to the CC. Alberto, how do you feel about applying the upstream parts from Helmut's patch [0]? I'm happy to apply the Debian bits.
