Source: libsort-key-top-perl Version: 0.08-5 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
libsort-key-top-perl fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build architecture compiler as linker. It originates from debian/rules passing LD. The value is looked up from Perl's sysconfig data without considering the host architecture. I propose using dpkg's buildtools.mk as source instead. Once doing so, it cross builds successfully. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
