cmark cannot be cross built from source, because it requests the host architecture Python interpreter via Build-Depends and that cannot be installed. Looking closer, it wants to run Python during build, so we should annotate the dependency :native. Looking even closer, it runs it as part of its test suite, so we can also annotate it <!nocheck>. Reproducible builds confirm that a nocheck build does not require Python while still yielding the exact same packages. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
