ld.so is not a GNU package, is it ? It probably uses our own canonical architecture strings, which include i386 for intel, and which is generated by dpkg --print-architecture. I'm only putting the --print-gnu-build-architecture flag in because the many GNU packages all need the same mapping from our to their architecture. > dpkg --print-architecture --intel-arch=i486 > (with --intel-arch=i386 being the default) This is a hack, which I will not implement.
