Package: src:gcc-4.7
Version: 4.7.1-5

I was trying to build a cross-compiler, and it kept failing because of
a syntax error in debian/control at line 41:

> Package: libgcc1-dbg-armel-cross
> Architecture: all
> Section: debug
> Priority: extra
> Depends: gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabi-base (= ${gcc:Version}),

Notice the "dnldnl".  This is caused by the corresponding part of
debian/control.m4:

> Package: libgcc1-dbg`'LS
> Architecture: ifdef(`TARGET',`all',`any')
> Section: debug
> Priority: extra
> Depends: BASEDEP, libgcc1`'LS (= ${gcc:EpochVersion}), ${misc:Depends}
> ifdef(`TARGET',`dnl',`dnl

If TARGET is defined, then the part after Depends: turns into

ifdef(`target',`dnl')dnl

Which expands to

dnldnl

The solution is to EITHER delete the first quoted dnl, OR move the
final dnl inside the macro and closing quote.  Having them both there
causes problems.
