Dear Maintainer, Please drop unneeded and unsatisfiable Build-Depends. * perl is Build-Essential, so you do not have to B-D on it. * You want the build version of perl, not the host version of perl. The host version of perl is not necessarily executable. In order to keep this dependency it must be marked with ":any". * binutils is Build-Essential, so you do not have to B-D on it. * The version of binutils required for libxml2 is even available in oldstable. * You want binutils that target the host architecture. This is not currently expressible using dependencies. Refer to https://wiki.debian.org/CrossTranslatableBuildDeps for details. These B-D are a problem to cross-building right now. I suggest to drop them. Helmut
