In any case that would be a follow up, but I'm not fond of that perl/dpkg magic plus supporting DEB_ variables. I think for linux it is preferable to have it based on UTS_MACHINE. Thus I think your testcases aren't valid, and also you neglected the following one: make KBUILD_DEBARCH=i386 deb-pkg # i386 userland with amd64 linux Best. -- maks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
