You could make the debian/rules file simply call 'make realclean' rather than 'make distclean' to acheive this without changing the main makefile. Either way, however, I don't think that's the problem. Darrick Wong noted on #xfs that his builds of xfsprogs on ppc64el from a tarball don't fail at all. His libtool chain is: > host-triplet: powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu > libtoolize: (GNU libtool) 2.4.2 Debian-2.4.2-1.7ubuntu1 > automake: automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1 > autoconf: autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69 Which is similar to mine, but libtoolize is slightly older (and I'm on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu). It turns out that the reason the build works on his machines is that someone had made a small manual change to /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4: --- a/libtool.m4 2014-02-11 04:58:49.000000000 -0800 +++ b/libtool.m4 2015-07-31 13:48:23.375432372 -0700 @@ -1312,7 +1312,7 @@ rm -rf conftest* ;; -x86_64-*kfreebsd*-gnu|x86_64-*linux*|powerpc*-*linux*| \ +x86_64-*kfreebsd*-gnu|x86_64-*linux*|ppc*-*linux*|powerpc*-*linux*| \ s390*-*linux*|s390*-*tpf*|sparc*-*linux*) # Find out which ABI we are using. echo 'int i;' > conftest.$ac_ext i.e. the problem looks to be that the libtool package shipped in debian/unstable does not support ppc64el correctly....
