Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to cross compile a package for ppc64 using sbuild (see
Bug#1094996).
sbuild kept failing because it was missing crossbuild-essential-ppc64. The same
problem have other archs (e.g. sparc64).
Is it possible to add crossbuild-essential-ppc64, crossbuild-essential-sparc64,
etc. ?

Thanks!

Cheers,
BogDan.

I do not think that those packages should be provided for non-release
architectures. But now that loong64 has been added to the release
architectures, please add crossbuild-essential-loong64.
