Control: reassign -1 src:gcc-8
Control: tags -1 + patch
Hi Matthias,
I've updated the patch now. It has become fairly trivial.
We added support for "X-DH-Build-For-Type: target" a while ago. That
flag alone makes dh_strip choose the right tooling.
So whenever debhelper is recent enough, we can just skip the
binutils-multiarch dependency.

Please tell me where to find the current VCS. I've attached a patch
against the version in unstable anyhow.

This is solved by X-DH-Build-For-Type.

No cross_strip is needed at all anymore as X-DH-Build-For-Type has taken
care of this.

I didn't encounter a single binary package that ships both host and
target objects. Whenever they do, we can simply split the packages.
debhelper and dh_strip now support selecting host vs. target per binary
package and we're actively using that support since gcc-7.
