Hey
in rules, --build=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) is obviously incorrect and
prevents cross-builds:
[...]

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [debian/stamp-autotools] Error 1
note the bogus --build= above; config.log just says that it couldn't
run the test, but it's not supposed to run it at all in
cross-compilation mode.
Attaching a debdiff which helps the build for me; it doesn't complete,
but it goes much much farther:
[...]

size_t *outbytesleft); checking for library containing waddstr... no configure:

[debian/stamp-makefile-build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules
build gave error exit status 2
The above failure is probably a result of my setup though.
I also suggest you change your dpkg-architecture ":=" assignments to
"?=" as to save some time running rules.
Thanks,
