In the patches for util-linux, apt, dpkg, gnupg and mktemp there are patches build a file called arm-linux-gnu.cache. This file is then copied into the build tree.
Now I realise that the patches can not build an architecture specific file, we can not substitute into the diff file names. So would it not be better to create a file called generic.cache, and then when the cp is done to copy it into the build tree to convert it into an architecture specific file name:- cp generic.cache build-deb/$DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE.cache in debian/rules. Also, how does the emsource program know which patches are architecture specific, so that it can ignore patches which are not relevant to the architecture you are building?
