Package: diffutils Version: 2.8.1-12 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch In line with the other cross-building support bugs: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/11/msg00116.html
This patch is necessary to allow diffutils to cross-build in Debian. This occurs because the cross building tools have been rewritten to support CC_FOR_BUILD for packages that compile internal build tools and therefore the tools no longer explicitly override the MAKEFLAGS.
