Works for the case I presented. I still have one bad case:
Now I remove the explicit setting of KBUILD_DEBRCH:
$ rm -rf debian
$ make ARCH=arm KBUILD_IMAGE=uImage deb-pkg
...
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'armhf' does not
appear in package's architecture list (armel)
My host architecture is amd64. This is actually the build architecture.
dpkg-gencontrol uses Dpkg::Arch::get_host_arch().
$ perl -MDpkg::Arch -e 'print Dpkg::Arch::get_host_arch()."\n"'
amd64
$ CC=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc perl -MDpkg::Arch -e 'print Dpkg::Arch::get_host_arch()."\n"'
armel
$ CC=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc perl -MDpkg::Arch -e 'print Dpkg::Arch::get_host_arch()."\n"'
armhf
$ DEB_HOST_ARCH=whatever perl -MDpkg::Arch -e 'print Dpkg::Arch::get_host_arch()."\n"'
whatever
Is it OK to use that perl one-liner as the default instead of the
architecture guessing case?
