zip fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build
architecture compiler (and later fails dh_strip). Simply passing a
triplet-prefixed CC to configure makes the build pass already. Doing
that produces a zip without large file support though, because configure
determines large file support using a compile and run check. Thus I
replaced that check with an equivalent compile-only check. Please
consider applying the attached patch.

Thanks for your work.

This is a lot more intrusive than the patch for unzip, so I'll probably
forward it upstream before considering to apply it to the Debian
package.

Hi Santiago,

Did you hear from upstream on this patch? :)

Thanks,
~Niels

Sorry, not yet, but your email served as a reminder that I need to
recover my communication channels with upstream authors.

There used to be a phpBB forum linked from this page:

http://www.info-zip.org

but it's now gone.

(So, I've just contacted Hunder Goatley in the hope that either he can
do something about it, or know somebody who can do something about it).

Thanks.
