Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.18.3
Severity: wishlist
I don't intend to do a new port, however the hppa kernel requires a hppa64
compiler.
$ dpkg-architecture -ahppa64
dpkg-architecture: error: unknown Debian architecture hppa64, you must specify
GNU system type, too
please could you add support to make this work? it will simplify the packaging
of the toolchain.

Given the above, I'm closing this request now. Please feel free to
reopen or file a new one whenever there's glibc support available.
