Package: gcc
Version: 2.7.2.2-5
According to the new policy 2.2.0.0, the correct arch spec string for
intel is "i386-linux". Please rename the directory
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux
Thanks,
Chris

Extra info received and filed, but not forwarded.
You requested that the message be sent to the package maintainer(s)
but either the bug report is not associated with any package (probably
because of a missing Package psuedo-header field in the original bug
report), or the package(s) specified do not have any maintainer(s).
Your message has *not* been sent to any package maintainers; it has
merely been filed in the bug tracking system. If you require assistance
please contact owner@bugs.debian.org quoting the bug number 11229.

dpkg --print-gnu-build-architecture still lists it as i486. gcc and
binutils use --print-gnu-build-architecture to determine what argument
to pass configure.
gcc and binutils are long-standing "policy exceptions", and are the
reason that -pgba is a dpkg flag. We may come to a time when the
official Debian arch spec no longer matches the official GNU arch spec,
or matches with unintended consequences.
I am very reluctant to change this. If you want gcc/binutils to use
i386, talk to the dpkg maintainer about changing i486 to i386 in the
spec list.

Ok, I'll reassign this bug to dpkg.

The various --print-*-architecture options for dpkg were fixed a
while ago. Also please note you should use dpkg-buildarchitecture
instead.
