That's not supposed to work :P
Try "debian/rules `dpkg-architecture -l`"

Please explain why you think so.

You are dropping the context:
sub findarch {
if (exists $ENV{DEB_HOST_ARCH}) {
$arch=$ENV{DEB_HOST_ARCH};
} else {
$arch=`dpkg --print-architecture`;
$? && &subprocerr("dpkg --print-architecture");
chomp $arch;
}
$substvar{'Arch'}= $arch;
}
It's only there because I was very careful about backward compatibility on
linux systems when changing the code. I do my best to get
--print-architecture dropped from dpkg alltogether, but it might take some
time to communicate this to the dpkg maintainer (hi Wichert :)

You can put it online and post a link here if you want.

Please note that the comment made on this list is correct: I think you can
have objc but not libgc (there is a special option for it).
