That's not really accurate, it's passed to objdump -a only to verify if the binary has the same format than the executable analyzed. The full analysis comes only later if there's a match. > While this looks like a regression as builds that used to work now fail, > it isn't, because the builds were only correct by chance before. > > Symptom is that during a cross build of a library that links against > libutil, the following is output: > > m68k-linux-gnu-objdump: /lib/libutil.so.1: File format not recognized > dpkg-shlibdeps: error: m68k-linux-gnu-objdump gave error exit status 1 > > The correct file would be /usr/m68k-linux-gnu/lib/libutil.so.1 .

But it really needs a portable way to know whether a file has been built for the same architecture than the executable analyzed. It tries to do this with objdump -a and with binutils-multiarch that was working fine. It would then detect that it was the wrong version and would continue to look for the correct library. Loïc, what do you suggest? Should we parse the error instead? And/or fallback to the host objdump?
