This is half correct :) I suggest to just refer to dpkg-architecture(1), as
the technical details may change. In particular, you should not use the
variables without initializing them
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)
etc
In general, I support a proposal that encourages cross compilation. I am
not sure about the wording, and how much technical details it should
contain. (But I can't make a better suggestion right now).
Thanks,
Marcus
