What I'm working on is building a supplementary archive for Ubuntu's
cloud archive (read: openstack) for 14.04 for arm64 hosts. This isn't
the only change I needed to make, but this is the only one that
also applied to Debian.

Ah, ok. Thanks Michael!

Even with that in place, are you thinking about backorting
current qemu (in stretch) to debian release prior jessie?
Are you targetting wheezy?  Note that libtool-bin package is
in jessie already, and backporting qemu to wheezy and before
is a somewhat difficult procedure, since we'll have to backport
all the libvirt stack on the way.

BTW, the same tweak might be needed for libcacard now,
as it is too build-depends on libtool-bin.  But it might
be easier to disable cacard support in backport instead.

Thanks,
