snort fails to cross build from source, because it configures for the
build architecture. The easiest way of passing the relevant --host flag
is using dh_auto_configure. The attached patch implements that. It
doesn't make snort cross build as there are subsequent failures to be
sorted out. Please consider applying the patch anyway and close this bug
when doing so.
