Hey there I think most folks cross-building .debs are using binutils-multiarch as to have transparent support for more architectures in their /usr/bin/objdump, /usr/bin/objcopy, /usr/bin/strip files and probably others.
I wonder how much it would make sense to add support for using the cross-toolchain versions of the utilities instead? I basically tried cross-building some packages without binutils-multiarch and noticed that tools such as dh_strip, dpkg-shlibdeps and others are hardcoding "objdump", "strip" etc. I have some patches here to call $triplet-objdump instead of objdump when DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE != DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE and wonder whether they would cause any disruption, or are not desired for any reason?
