Hi,
I just tried to cross compile an apt package for powerpc using
dpkg-cross. It works fine, after a few tweaks that are dpkg-cross
related, except for one thing in the autoconf part. It fails to find
the glibc version, because this is determined by trying to execute
a cross compiled program in buildlib/tools.m4. The following patch
to buildlib/tools.m4 fixes it:
93a94
> AC_CACHE_VAL(ac_cv_glibc_ver,
105c106
< GLIBC_VER="-$GLIBC_VER"
---
> ac_cv_glibc_ver=$GLIBC_VER
109a111,112
> )
> GLIBC_VER="-$ac_cv_glibc_ver"
When the patch is applied, all you have to do is add the line
ac_cv_glibc_ver=libc6.2 (for target woody)
to /etc/dpkg/cross-config.$arch
(I also had to install dpkg-cross'ed versions of apt and apt-utils,
to make dpkg-shlibdeps find the libraries, but this is not a bug in
apt).
Making packages cross compile friendly is /very/ useful if the host
you are building for is very slow and lacks a compiler - as in my case.
So please consider applying this patch.
Greetings,
Oliver

Changes:
apt (0.5.21) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Patch from Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> to include apt18n.h after
other headers to avoid breaking locale.h when setlocale() is defined
as an empty macro. This was not a problem on Debian, but broke
compilation on Solaris. (Closes: #226509)
* Updated French translation from Pierre Machard <pmachard@debian.org>
(Closes: #226886)
* Add colons to apt-get's "kept back"/"upgraded"/"downgraded" messages
(Closes: #226813)
* Fix typo in apt-cache(8) (Closes: #226351)
* Clearer error message in place of "...has no available version, but
exists in the database" (Closes: #212203)
* Patch from Oliver Kurth <oku@masqmail.cx> to use AC_CACHE_VAL for
GLIBC_VER to make cross-compilation easier (Closes: #221528)
* Add example preferences file (Closes: #220799)
* Updated Greek translation from Konstantinos Margaritis <markos@debian.org>
(Closes: #227205)
