Bug#852360: Cross compiling and Bug#852360

[Lukas Schwaighofer]

Hi Debian cross team,

I have a question regarding Bug#852360 and cross compiling dsniff.

The bug report mentions moving to a more recent autotools fixes the
problem as well. Since the package uses debhelper 10 (which enables the
autoreconf sequence by default), the configure script is regenerated
with a newer version of autotools before being called.

Does that mean that the snippet
> include /usr/share/dpkg/architecture.mk
> ifeq ($(origin CC),default)
> export CC := $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-gcc
> endif
can be removed again from debian/rules? I tried to cross compile for
armhf without that snipped using pbuilder (following the instructions
from https://wiki.debian.org/CrossCompiling) which worked: The correct
compiler was called and the binaries had the same sha512sum thanks
to reproducible builds.

Thanks in advance
Lukas
