Maybe dpkg-architecture can help here: % dpkg-architecture | grep GNU_TYPE DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu DEB_TARGET_GNU_TYPE=x86_64-linux-gnu Looks very much like your BUILDDIR. And can be queried (not sure which of the 3 variables) like: % dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE x86_64-linux-gnu Cf. for examples: https://codesearch.debian.net/perpackage-results/DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE%20path%3Adebian%2Frules/2/page_0 Oh, and this has been discussed before: https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/09/msg00198.html should answer your question: - either use obj-$DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE - or try --builddirectory Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
