[Pkg-dpdk-devel] Bug#1077279: Coonfirmed but as you suggested that needs upstream

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Hi Helmut,

Luca and I had a look today and confirmed what you found, not by
testing but by reviewing code.
Let us just check that it really is what you meant when you said "the
cross branch"

In [1] it checks for a cross build and since [2] wrongly sets the cpu
architecture [3] as instruction set which is doomed to fail. Is that
what you refeered to?

Just like you, we assume this is working for someone, maybe arm people?
And hence, again as you suggested, it would need to go upstream for
discussion there.

Of course we could just forward that, but since neither Luca nor I are
cross-builders we wondered if it would not be better if you would do
so, to be available for cross-questions that might be returned.
If you happen to be OK to do so please send a mail to dev [4] + Bruce
Richardson (mail see [2]) + Luca and me (mail see the dpdk upload
changelogs).
