Package: mesa Version: 7.0.2-2 Severity: normal User: codehelp@debian.org Usertags: crossbuilt *** Please type your report below this line *** mesa appears to configure the package according to the DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE which leads to bizarre behaviour when trying to cross build. e.g. trying to cross build for arm in each case: amd64 uses -m64 which is not recognised by arm-linux-gnu-gcc i386 attempts to build x86 code powerpc - appears to proceed. When cross building for arm, the package should configure as it would on an arm box, independent of which architecture is being used to build for arm. Some of the detection code may need to be changed upstream but during a normal Debian build, --build == --host so this should not be difficult. To cross build, mesa needs to look at the --host argument and maybe fallback to --build only if --host is not given or is the same as --build.
