simpleproxy fails to cross build from source, because it builds for the
build architecture. Its configure script is too old to understand the
--host flag supplied by dh_auto_configure. Rather, one is supposed to
export various tool variables. An easy way to do that is using dpkg's
buildtools.mk. Please consider applying the attached patch.
