scsitools fails to cross build from source, because it generally uses
build architecture tools. In most cases deferring to dh_auto_* fixes.
The explicit gcc invocations can be fixed with buildtools.mk. After
doing so, scsitools cross builds successfully. Please consider applying
the attached patch.

Control: reopen -1

Thank you for mostly uploading my patch.

Note that buildtools.mk is not implied in default.mk unless depending on
dpkg-build-api (= 1) or later. Hence the use of $(CC) for scsi-spin
still ends up using the build architecture compiler. As a result
dh_strip fails.

Please either include buildtools.mk (as the patch proposes) or bump the
dpkg-build-api to 1.

Helmut

Hi,

* Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de> [251002 10:15]:

Maybe you can check if this works correctly for cross-building.

I somewhat regret spending more time on this package than filing an
RM: bug. Maybe for duke then.

Best,
Chris
