[pkg-db-devel] Bug#623543: db: Incorrect use of DEB_BUILD_ variables breaks cross-compilation

Severity: normal

Hi!

I just noticed from the latest changelog that DEB_HOST_ARCH variables
got switched to DEB_BUILD_ARCH, but this is not correct. Host refers
to the machine the packages are being built for, build is the machine
the packages are being built on. Refer to the dpkg-architecture man
page for more details.

While inspecting the debian/rules file I've noticed several other
DEB_BUILD_ variables being used when the DEB_HOST_ counterparts should
be used instead.

I've not actually cross-compiled it, but this will certainly break
cross-compilation.

thanks,
guillem
