That's great. Theoretically, cross building "just works". With pbuilder you add add --host-arch=<somedebianarch> and with sbuild you add --host=<somedebianarch> to your build invocation (with your regular chroot) and it just magically performs a cross build for you. You just say what you want to build for, and it takes care of all that's necessary. That's not quite where we are today. For sbuild there are #905345 (--profiles cross,nocheck), #905346 (--add-depends=libc-dev,libstdc++-dev), and #905347 (--no-arch-all). I don't know what's missing for pbuilder atm. So you can just try cross building it and see what happenes. If it doesn't work and the failure isn't obvious to you, I'm happy to assist if you send a build log (preferrably to d-cross@l.d.o). Such reports do help ironing out tooling issues. Some issues are rather difficult or possibly unsolvable though. If in doubt, please ask for help. Applying patches in a timely manner is already helping a lot. Notably, that's not what's happening on ~500 other bug reports. Thank you for your support Helmut
