Bug#874183: xmlrpc-c FTCBFS: runs host architecture binaries
Source: xmlrpc-c
Version: 1.33.14-4
Tags: patch
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
xmlrpc-c fails to cross build from source, because it fails running
gennmtab, which was built with the host architecture compiler. gennmtab
is part of an embedded code copy of expat. In any case, it is built with
BUILDTOOL_CC which strangely ends up being the host architecture
compiler. Properly setting BUILDTOOL_CC (and BUILDTOOL_CCLD) fixes that.
Further down the road, debian/rules unconditionally runs "make check"
(even when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck) and naturally fails doing so.
After also honouring DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck, xmlrpc-c cross builds
successfully. Please consider applying the attached patch.
Also moving "make check" to override_dh_auto_test might make sense
conceptually.
