Package: toolchain-source
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

toolchain-source as it stands is currently unusable for building ARM
cross-compiler targets. It appears that you must specify "arm-linux-gnu" to
several of the builds in order to get the install to work correctly.
However, this target is not supported by tpkg-debarch. The attached patch is
not a complete solution, but it at least makes it *possible* to build for
arm again (so long as you use the magic "arm-linux-gnu" incantation).

Okay, so when I did that, I would get this message every so often:

"Hmph - dunno the arm-linux-gnu arch"

.... and then eventually:

http://ftp.yi.org/debian/dists/test...one/Packages.gz
=> /tmp/tpkg-install-libc.CMosC11963/packageset.gz'
Resolving ftp.yi.org... 209.172.55.241

binary-none, eh?

Sooooo I added "arm-linux-gnu" to tpkg-debarch, and that made it work!!!
