> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture armel

This architecture has never been tested. The original sources were written for Intel 32bit. The code just happens to work also on AMD 64. It will be interesting to hear if compilation succeeds. If not, we need someone to supply patches to that architecture.

The Kernel's Gcc information on that architecture is stored in different version string. Please send this command's output:

    egrep 'Linux version.*gcc version' /proc/version

A likely fix has been committed revision 283. Run again:

  tc-dpkg --auto --install
