pocketsphinx fails to cross build from source. At the dh_install stage,
it misses the gstreamer plugin. The upstream configure.ac opts out of
building it when it detects cross compilation. While that may be useful
upstream. The Debian package should not differ between a native and a
cross build. I'm attaching a patch that drops this branch and once
applying it, pocketsphinx cross builds successfully. I'm not sure
whether this is upstreamable. Maybe it could be turned into some
user-selectable conditional? Please consider carrying the patch on the
Debian side.

Hello,

I'm sorry that you have worked on the obsolete source code, now replaced
by pocketsphinx 5 that uses cmake. Perhaps this cross-compilation now
works?

I forgot to mention that pocketsphinx 5 is in NEW for now.
