[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#560834: dbus cannot be crosscompiled

[arne anka]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.16-2
Severity: normal

the djungle of debian ways to build packages has caught me again.
it si impossible to cross compile dbus -- it alwasy builds amd64 (my
computer) .o files instead of arm-linux-gnueabi

wherever i put it, the target arm-linux-gnueabi is ignored.
