Another possibility could be to fetch from the Git repository at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/libdebian-installer.git/, but I'm
fine with snapshot.debian.org.

Unfortunately, the following configuration doesn't build here:

BR2_arm=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_URL="http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/br-arm-basic-2016.02-3-g762b7c9.tar.bz2"
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_4_9=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HEADERS_4_4=y
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG is not set
BR2_INIT_NONE=y
BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH_NONE=y
# BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX is not set
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBDEBIAN_INSTALLER=y
# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set

I get the following failure:

libtool: link: /home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/arm-linux-gcc -shared  -fPIC -DPIC  .libs/exec.o .libs/hash.o .libs/log.o .libs/mem.o .libs/mem_chunk.o .libs/package.o .libs/package_parser.o .libs/packages.o .libs/packages_parser.o .libs/parser.o .libs/parser_rfc822.o .libs/slist.o .libs/string.o .libs/tree.o .libs/utils.o  -Wl,--whole-archive system/.libs/libsystem.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive   -Os -Wl,--version-script=./libdebian-installer.ver -Wl,--no-undefined-version   -Wl,-soname -Wl,libdebian-installer.so.4 -o .libs/libdebian-installer.so.4.0.7

Also, I'm concerned by a few other things:

 * The configure.ac script calls dpkg-architecture. Not only this means
   that the configure script assumes it will be run on Debian (which is
   not guaranteed in Buildroot), but it breaks when cross-compiling:
   the target architecture is not the one of the build machine.

 * In src/system/, you will see that there are a number of architecture
   specific files, which probably means that libdebian-installer is not
   going to build properly for all target architectures.

Could you investigate those issues/concerns, and send an updated version?

Thanks!

Thomas
