  Thank you. The updated README might mention `Setting up a Cross
Development Environment on Debian GNU/Linux' from
http://people.debian.org/~debacle/cross.html. I have came across it a
short while ago. One thing that I find missing there is a list of names
of the platforms that can be used as target platforms. Only after

    debuild -uc -us
	
failed I realized that I should have used tpkg-make powerpc-linux.
