Problems building busybox with dpkg-buildpackage (dpkg-cross version).

[Jim Heck <Jim.Heck@Sun.COM>]

I have a recent 'etch' cross toolchain successfully built now for 
powerpc that has allowed me to compile both the kernel and several 
packages using dpkg-buildpackage.  I'm having problems, however, 
building busybox.  It seems as if 'crossprefix' is getting jammed into 
the path of the 'c' files being passed to the cross compiler.  Below see 
that I'm building in '/usr/src/cross-packages/busybox-1.1.3/...', but 
the absolute path of the file the compiler sees is 
'/usr/powerpc-linux-gnu/src/cross-packages/busybox-1.1.3/...'

I've read the dpkg-cross help, and examined the busybox Makefiles and 
the dpkg-cross perl scripts a bit, but can't figure out where this is 
coming from.  Is there some simple thing I'm doing wrong, or is this 
package trying to be too smart (I saw some mention of a $CROSS 
environment variable in the busybox makefiles).  I don't have any 
significant environment variables set that I know of.

Any help or insight appreciated.

Thanks,
