according to my notes i had to do

- add --host=arm-linux-gnueabi to debian/rules
- do (the ccflags are taken from the navit faq, didn't check if the have  
any effect here)
export CC=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc ; export CCFLAGS="-march=armv4t  
-mtune=arm920t"; fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b  -aarmel

but stuff like navit simply cross compiles out of the box with

fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b  -aarmel

and the build system picks the necessary information for host and target  
up. apparently dbus uses another way to build which is not really up to  
the task.
