Hi Matthias, I am using crossbuild-essential-$arch for performing cross build tests and we want to push such testing to official infrastructure to integrate it with tracker.d.o. In doing so I am using all present crossbuild-essential-$arch packages and keep finding architecture-specific bugs (e.g. toolchain bugs) that would only be found by performing an archive rebuild for those other architectures. However my testing is currently limited to arm64, armel, armhf, mipsel, powerpc, and ppc64el, because the other architectures are missing in cross-targets. Please consider adding them. The attached patch implements that. In principle, I can test any non-ports architecture in unstable. Adding hurd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386 may make sense eventually, but such testing won't go far before #798955 is fixed, so I am not adding them in my patch. Helmut
