Package: vlc
Version: 0.8.6-svn20060823.debian-3
Severity: minor
The (apparently handwritten) configure script in extras/x264/ uses
uname in various ways to detect host+build architecture (it apparently
won't allow for cross-compilation, but that's not Debian's problem).
This is a problem in at least one situation: when running a 32-bit
userland over a 64-bit Linux kernel, uname -m reports x86_64 whereas
we want to compile for i486 - this causes a package compilation
failure.
I suggest the attached patch.
