Troubles with debuild since devscripts 2.9.17

["Jean-Luc Coulon (f5ibh)" <jean.luc.coulon@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'use to build debian packages from the svn releases of cinelerra and  
several other ones.

With debuild from devscripts 2.9.16 everything is fine but with 2.9.17  
I got the following error the traditionnal "recompile with -fPIC"  
message:
/usr/bin/ld: .libs/libmpeg3.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local  
symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with  
-fPIC
.libs/libmpeg3.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Having a look futher, I've seen that the DEB_HOST_ARCH variable is no  
more set with this new version.

Is it a bug or a feature?

Regards

Jean-Luc
