Source: eglibc Version: 2.13-21 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch While cross-compiling EGLIBC, the package-build fails building the architecture-specific "locales-all" package as the binaries needed for that task are for a non-native architecture.
To resolve the issue, the "locales-all" package should only be built when compiling natively. The attached patch results in successful cross-builds in my test environment.
