Partially. You replaced the install -s invocation with dh_strip and the
dh_strip knows how cross works, but the ./configure invocation is left
unchanged and thus still configures for the build architecture. Often
enough indirecting "./configure" via "dh_auto_configure --" solves this,
but liblockfile uses very old autotools that may necessitate setting CC
explicitly.
So maybe give the following a try (the removed options are passed by
dh_auto_configure):
override_dh_auto_configure:
- ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr \
- --libdir=\$${prefix}/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \
- --with-mailgroup --mandir=/usr/share/man
+ dh_auto_configure -- --enable-shared --with-mailgroup
If you are using sbuild from unstable or jessie-backports, you can cross
build by passing e.g. --host=ppc64el to your sbuild invocation. You may
also need --add-depends="libc-dev, libstdc++-dev" to work around
#815172. Or you can do another upload and let me try again.
