Bug#873601: jkmeter FTCBFS: binutils build dependency unsatisfiable, hard codes build architecture compiler

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: jkmeter
Version: 0.6.1-4
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

jkmeter fails to cross build from source for two reasons:
 * Its explicit build dependency on binutils (host architecture)
   conflicts with its implicit dependency via build-essential (build
   architecture). In theory, one would do "toolchain dependency cross
   translation here", but dropping the redundant dependency is easier.
 * The upstream Makefile hard codes the build architecture compiler g++.

After fixing both issues, jkmeter cross builds successfully. Please
consider applying the attached patch.
