Bug#921573: lintian: binary-from-other-architecture only works sometimes

[Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi Mattia,

Wow, thanks for this! I had spent an hour trying to follow the
instructions on the Debian Wiki to get a crossbuild environment
which failed in a very strage way, so had shelved this for the time
being...

Anyway, with these:

    $ dget https://volatile.mapreri.org/2019-02-17/130da1c8cbfd405daeb1a7d0a51f536d/ procmail_3.22-26_mips64el.changes
    […]

    $ ar x *.deb

    $ tar xfJ data.tar.xz 

    $ find | grep bin/lockfile
    ./usr/bin/lockfile

    $ file ./usr/bin/lockfile
    ./usr/bin/lockfile: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=61490d858790e4dc01926e63843ad0509abd0371, stripped

    $ ./usr/bin/lockfile -v
    lockfile v3.23pre 2001/09/13

Perhaps I'm missing something, but this looks like /usr/bin/
lockfile is ann amd64 binary, not a a mips64el one.
