Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg-cross
Running dpkg-cross against the Multi-Arch: same version of libc6
currently in natty does not produce sensible output. Instead it
generates a .deb that contains only a large number of iconv .so modules
under /usr/x86_64-linux-gnu/include, e.g.:
./usr/x86_64-linux-gnu/include/gconv/libCNS.so
I have no idea why it's installing to include. The source location was
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gconv/.
It might seem that it's not a big deal for dpkg-cross to not handle
multiarch packages since multiarch packages can just be installed
directly; but since we can't use foreign-architecture build dependencies
on the buildds yet, cross-toolchain packages in the archive (such as
armel-cross-toolchain-base) need to build using gcc-4.5-source, eglibc-
source, etc. and run dpkg-cross afterwards to output their binary
packages. So the armel cross-compiler in the archive isn't buildable
until this is resolved.
I've checked with dpkg-cross 2.6.2 from Debian unstable; the same
problem is present there.
