The default is determined by +an external call to +.BR gcc (1), +or the same as the build architecture if \fBCC\fP or gcc are both not +available. One out of \fB\-\-host\-arch\fR and \fB\-\-host\-type\fR is +sufficient, the value of the +other will be set to a usable default. Indeed, it is often better to only +specify one, because \fBdpkg\-architecture\fP will warn you if your choice +does not match the default. +. +.SH COMMANDS +.TP +.BR \-l ", " \-\-list +Print the environment variables, one each line, in the format +\fIVARIABLE=value\fP.
