Bug#882456: billard-gl FTCBFS: uses the build architecture compiler for linking

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: billard-gl
Version: 1.75-16
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

billard-gl fails to cross build from source, because it uses the build
architecture compiler for linking. For compilation it uses standard
variables CC and CXX that get substituted by dh_auto_build, but for
linking it uses LINK=g++. Substituting that one as well, makes the cross
build succeed. This problem could be fixed upstream if they assigned
LINK = $(CXX). Please consider applying the attached patch.
