Comment 2 for bug 873013

With a large cross building patch applied it gets much further, and instead dies trying to link wrong-arch libbz2:

arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -shared -O2 -g -fstack-protector Bzip2.o -o /home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/perl-5.10.1/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/auto/Compress/Raw/Bzip2/Bzip2.so \
    -L/usr/lib -lbz2 \

/usr/lib/libbz2.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized

Patched version of perl is in https://launchpad.net/~linaro-foundations/+archive/cross-alip

Build-log attached.
