It seems to have gotten dropped.  Fortunately, I saved the message in
the moderator queue, so I've pasted it to the end of this mail.

It gets set according to the output of dpkg-architecture on the machine
that it is built on.  Basically, we have:

,----
| DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE  ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)
| DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE   ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
| .

|         cd $(b_make) && CC=$(CC) CXX=$(CXX) ../configure \
|                 --with-layout=$(GS_FS_LAYOUT) \
|                 --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) \
|                 --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) \
|                 --target=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) \
|                 --enable-native-objc-exceptions \
