Yes, but how do I find out why it is failing in my case? I'm reading now https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch, that will take a while anyway, but FWIW, such an error message can be helpful -- it was in my case [1] (if it doesn't interfere with the normal course of things: you seem to suggest it does). Cheers & thanks [1] the build system *was* using the wrong compiler, i.e. x86_64 instead of armhf. - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlrHQ84ACgkQBcgs9XrR2kaqzACfUnd+ISZbpD8LXNir9Zzrtg0b EpYAnj+r+FZsjGDwuS2bjHFAsFp3fVmW =kA50 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
