OK, this doesn't work how I thought it did. Neither $CROSS nor $STRIP are special and don't relate to the STRIP=foo set in Makefile. autoconf got that right all by itself (presumably from --host). The issue is that debian/rules wants to be able to say 'use the STRIP defined in Makefile'. Is there a way to do that? It seems that this would be more robust than generating our own version of the same thing (as "$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-strip") . We get some of these variables: ($(MAKE), $(RM)), but not $(STRIP) .
I've just failed to find a neat way to extract this info that isn't uglier than just generating it again ourselves. Which seems a pity. OK it all makes sense now anyway. As you were. I'll forward the bug to Debian. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/962997 Title: FTCBFS: Cross build calls wrong-arch strip To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debianutils/+bug/962997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
