As discussed on #debian-bugs, a way to fix this problem has been found: <ejka> Q_: rleigh, there is a difference between debian/rules and dpkg-buildpackage builds in the values of DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE and DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE. In the first case it is $arch-linux-gnu (set by debian/rules), in the second -- $arch-linux (set by dpkg-buildpackage.
<rleigh> ejka: I've tried 'debian/rules clean build binary', 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc' and 'debuild -us -uc' (twice for each), and all worked. I commented out all the conditional bits, leaving 'DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE := \ $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-gnu' and 'DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE := \ $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)-gnu' --- emacs21-21.4a/debian/rules 2005-05-27 20:32:50.000000000 +0100 +++ t1/emacs21-21.4a/debian/rules 2005-05-29 15:22:06.000000000 +0100 @@ -114,25 +114,25 @@ DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM) DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM) -ifndef DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE - ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM), linux) +#ifndef DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE +# ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM), linux) DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE := \ $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-gnu - else - DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) - endif +# else +# DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) +# endif export DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE -endif +#endif -ifndef DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE - ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM), linux) +#ifndef DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE +# ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM), linux) DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE := \ $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)-gnu - else - DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) - endif - export DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE -endif +# else +# DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) +# endif +# export DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE +#endif confflags += --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) For what reason is all this stuff needed?
