[Pkg-gnu-smalltalk-devel] Bug#889503: gnu-smalltalk FTCBFS: configures for the build architecture

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: gnu-smalltalk
Version: 3.2.5-1.1
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

gnu-smalltalk fails to cross build from source, because it fails to pass
--host to ./configure. Thus it fails finding libffi, which is only
requested for the host architecture by Build-Depends. After letting
dh_auto_configure pass the missing flag, the build proceeds until it
tries (and fails) to run ./gst. I have no clue how to fix that and thus
the attached patch only fixes the first issue. Please consider applying
the attached patch and closing this bug when doing so.
