Source: fdutils Version: 5.6-1 Tags: patch upstream User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs
fdutils fails to cross build from source, because it fails running doc/texi-linearize with an Exec format error. That indicates that it is a build tool and should be using the build architecture compiler rather than the host architecture compiler. The autoconf-archive provides a useful macro AX_CC_FOR_BUILD for this task. I'm attaching a patch that makes use of it to make fdutils cross buildable. Please consider applying the attached patch.
