Source: nfs-utils
Version: 1:1.2.8-9.2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

nfs-utils fails to cross build from source, because it doesn't pass
--host to ./configure and thus uses the build architecture compiler. The
attached patch uses dh_auto_configure, which automatically supplies
those flags as needed. Then I found that the build would reuse existing
ELF object files (e.g. exportfs.o) instead of building them from source,
which is why I mark this bug as important. Reusing those objects causes
the build to fail for any host architecture that is not amd64.
