Package: cpio Version: 2.11-7 Followup-For: Bug #627444 User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu precise ubuntu-patch
Hi there, Here is an additional fix that's useful for cross-building. Currently the 'strip' command included in binutils (i.e., provided by build-essential) only understands executables of the build architecture. I presume that when Steve did his cross-build test with cpio, he had binutils-multiarch installed, which provides a 'strip' command that supports all known object formats. Since binutils-multiarch is redundant when you already have a cross-toolchain installed on the system, and since it's not actually guaranteed that the binutils-multiarch in the archive understands the object format of the architecture you're cross-compiling for, it's better to simply use the strip that's provided by the cross-binutils. The attached patch implements this. Please consider applying it along with the previous patch from Steve. For reference, both patches have been applied to cpio in Ubuntu. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
