So, Dimitri's explanation is a bit muddled because he seems to confuse HOST and BUILD a couple of times and hurt my brain, but he's right nonetheless that the simplest and best thing here is to mark libtool M-A:allowed. If we follow the table here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchCross We see that marking libtool M-A:allowed means that for normal builds, you get the HOST_ARCH version (which is what you want), for cross builds, you also get the HOST_ARCH version (which is what you want), and if you really want the BUILD_ARCH version, because you're using it to build tools for the build, rather than to build the final package, you can specify a build-dep on libtool:native. This is pretty much exactly how this should work. There's no reason for package splits, or to drop the arch-specific /usr/bin/libtool from the package. ...
