The culrpit appears to be the following change.
-DEB_HOST_ARCH := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)
-ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),armhf)
+arch := $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU)
+ifeq ($(arch),armhf)
This change appears to be wrong in two ways.
1. Checking the "host" arch (arch you are building for) not the "build" arch (arch you are building on) is generally what you want for compiler flags.
2. DEB_{BUILD|HOST}_ARCH_CPU on armhf is "arm" not "armhf".
With an arm porter hat on, I suggest reverting this change.
