- A lot of work has been done on perl to make it cross-build and with that
- (1.3MB) patch applied it gets quite a long way, but something is still
- amiss with pthread.
- 
- Other people have had this working, so further investigation is needed
- to determine what exactly is still going wrong in this environement.
  
  Background:
  The build command is:
  xdeb --only-explicit -a armel --prefer-apt --apt-source --debug --force-rebuild perl
  
  The actual build command xdeb issues is:
  debuild --no-lintian -eUSER -eCONFIG_SITE=/etc/dpkg-cross/cross-config.armel -eDEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck -eGTEST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/include -eGTEST_LIBDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib -ePKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/share/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig -eDH_VERBOSE=1 -aarmel -b -uc -us -tc
