I observed that zbar was not using qemu during g-ir-scanner and looked
into it. It turns out that I was patching it to export
_PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME as it would build a Python extension module.
That variable leaked into the part of the build where it runs
g-ir-scanner. It ended up calling the cross wrapper. Unfortunately,
there is a short cut "if sysconfig.get_config_var('MULTIARCH') ==
DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH". The left hand gets influenced by setting
_PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME and therefore the short cut is taken
disabling qemu.
Can we change this short cut to avoid this trap? Any suggestions for
how?
Thanks for considering
Helmut
