I'm attaching a patch for debian/rules that allows cross-building of attr. It would be wise still to add AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to configure.in and tweak include/builddefs.in using the patches from the previous message:

Please can this old bug be fixed? I am willing to upload an NMU if preferred. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
