Do you mean to set TARGETS, not TARGET?
Also, just to check, I find that I need to have the following
installed, in addition to the typical Build-Depends:
binutils-multiarch,
binutils-${target},
{libc6,libc6-dev}-*_${target}.deb, appropriate mangled by dpkg-cross,
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/2.95.3/${target}-linux/include, extracted from
the native ${target} build and hand-installed.
The last seems to be a bit sketchy, but it seems to work. Of
course, if you already have a cross-compiler installed, those
files already exist. Are there any other packages I'm missing?
With this, I seem to be able to get to the point of dh_movefiles
for the cross packages, in which it seems to fail due to expecting
non-versioned package names. More on this later -- I'm rebuilding
because I accidentally blew away the build log.
Is there a known version where the cross building worked, assuming
that I'm not just doing things wrong?
