Hello,

I asked. But they seems to be clueless of the mesa debianisation.

See the code of sis driver : there is some #ifdef (I386 || AMD64) #else
#error etc. sis won't compile on powerpc.

configs for debian powerpc are the same. i already diff debian and
configs and nothing where noticeable.

I'm just wondering if rules choose too build i386 instead of powerpc.
But i don't understand that rules.

Any help about how rules choose target are welcome. That should be great
to comment this rules.

Thanks.

Étienne.
