sapphire fails to cross build from source, because it does not pass
cross tools to make. The easiest way of fixing that would be using
dh_auto_build if sapphire's Makefile were using the standard variables
with the standard meanings. Unfortunately, it uses CC, which is normally
used for the C compiler, for a C++ compiler and that's not what
dh_auto_build passes there. The attached patch makes sapphire cross
buildable anyhow. Please consider applying it.
