[issue11715] Building Python on multiarch Debian and Ubuntu

[Ross Lagerwall]

Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerwall at gmail.com> added the comment:

I see this requires dpkg-architecture which isn't always available. While it isn't hard to install it, it isn't very clear that this is the cause of the nis and crypt modules failing to build on a fresh install of 11.10.

What would be nice is if there were some way of determining this information without dpkg-architecture such as reading it from /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf.
