[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#1094879: gnustep-gui FTCBFS: configures for the build architecture during dh_auto_clean

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: gnustep-gui
Version: 0.31.1-8
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftcbfs

gnustep-gui fails to cross build from source, because it configures
during dh_auto_clean without passing --host but passing a cross CC. As a
result this configure invocation and the dh_auto_clean operation fails.
The configuration is also quite useless, because whatever is configured
is subsequently deleted. The configure step can be inhibited by touching
two files. I'm attaching a patch for doing so. Once dh_auto_clean
passes, the rest of the package cross builds just fine. Please consider
applying the patch and talking to upstream to figure out a way of
running make distlcean without invoking configure.
