higan fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build
architecture compiler. By consistently using dh_auto_build, we can defer
the passing of cross compilers, but the upstream build system calls them
"compiler" rather than the standard "CXX", so we need to rename them.
Furthermore, it uses the build architecture pkg-config. dh_auto_build
also passes a suitable pkg-config via PKG_CONFIG. So after fixing all of
this higan cross builds successfully. Please consider applying the
attached patch.
