Package: libcairo
Version: 1.4.10-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

There is a typo in the cross build support in debian/rules that prevents
crossbuilding of libcairo, the --build option is passed the value for
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE and the --host option is passed the value for
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE.

The following patch simply reverses the variables so that the cross
build gets the correct values. (Current results - for an example cross
build on amd64 to build an arm package - are that the cross
compiler tries to build an amd64 object file and then tries to link it
using an arm linker which, predictably, fails.)

Thanks.
