[PATCH] kbuild, deb-pkg: fix Architecture field when cross compiling

From: Asbjoern Sloth Toennesen
Date: Mon Nov 01 2010 - 19:45:44 EST


If the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE is set, override
the Architecture control field, based on the value of the
ARCH environment variable.

With this patch the following make command:

make CROSS_COMPILE='' ARCH=i386 deb-pkg

will output an i386 Debian package instead of an amd64 one,
when run on amd64 machine.
