xzgv fails to cross build from source, because it uses build
architecture build tools. Simply adding the host architecture triplet as
a prefix to gcc and pkg-config fixes the cross build. Please consider
applying the attached patch.

xzgv 0.9.2-2 has been uploaded, and it's been converted to use dh.
Can you verify whether or not the cross build problems are still
present with xzgv?  I *think* dh/debhelper should handle fixing CC
automatically, right?  I suppose we might need use special handling
for pkg-config?

Thanks,

Usually, you can check the status of cross building a few days after
your upload at http://crossqa.debian.net/src/<sourcepackage>. In case of
xzgv, we can see that it still fails to cross build. You can also see
that it uses the correct compiler and the wrong pkg-config (as you
expected). Please apply the remainder of the patch.

Helmut
