It's not just build-essential that has to be cross-compilable. It's everything you need to build the packages in a debootstrappable (inc build-essential) image. That's actually at least 254 packages. And a quite a lot of those need perl or python to be multiarch aware in order to build. The set could probably be trimmed down further by adding more DEB_BUILD_PROFILE info to make reduced builds, but there is approx no chance of getting rid of python IMHO. The (current best guess) at the list is on http://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port (that's actually derived from Quantal - unstable does not really have enough multiarch info in packages to get any useful answers currently) Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
