Hi,

ioquake3 started to fail to cross build from source. The root cause is
to be found in debian/rules where $(CC) defaults to cc and pkg-config is
hard coded. I suggest including dpkg's buildtools.mk and using
$(PKG_CONFIG) to use triplet-prefixed build tools. Once doing so,
ioquake3 cross builds again. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience.

Helmut

   [ Helmut Grohne ]
   * d/rules: Fix FTCBFS by using triplet-prefixed pkgconf
     (Closes: #1112684)
 .
   [ Simon McVittie ]
   * New upstream snapshot
   * d/control, d/rules: Use dpkg build API v1, available since trixie
     - /usr/share/dpkg/buildtools.mk does not need to be included explicitly
   * d/salsa-ci.yml: Exercise cross-builds
   * d/rules: Stop setting ASMFLAGS, no longer needed.
     All files containing standalone GNU assembler code were removed
     upstream, and the remaining GNU assembler code is inlined into C
     source, which already gets all the necessary compiler flags.
