I've only got experience of CMake out of that list and it tends to need
more than just DEB_MAKE_ENVVARS to cross-build properly. It can work
but we need to use a CMakeListsCross.txt file to get CMake to
understand how to find the cross libraries etc. 

There's some discussion about this upstream with CMake:

Wookey?
