I am trying to understand you shell script but it contains lots and lots
of overhead which doesn't make reading it easy (the interesting stuff
only starts at line 725). Just to make sure I am not completely
misunderstanding, you are trying to use binutils-<gnu-triplet> package
on the arch of that triplet, right? But e.g. binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu
doesn't exist on amd64. So am I not reading the script correctly or how
is that supposed to work?

Can you explain where this requirement comes from? If really required,
then we'll have to figure out an other solution, because circular
dependencies are a problem.
