Source: boson
Version: 0.13-6
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS on mips{,el}
User: [email protected]
Usertags: mips mipsel

Hello,

boson fails to build from source on mips[0] and mipsel[1] with the following error:

| /usr/bin/ld: non-dynamic relocations refer to dynamic symbol 
std::cerr@@GLIBCXX_3.4
| /usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
| collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I believe that this is caused by bug #519006 in gcc-4.4. While apparently there's no fault of boson here, the build failure has to be fixed before squeeze release one way or another.

Possible ways to fix this bug:
1. Actually fix #519006 (non-trivial).
2. Compile boson on mips* without -g (untested, but should work according to Aurelien Jarno[2]).
3. Compile boson on mips* with gcc-4.3 (untested).
4. Request removal of mips* binaries from unstable[3].

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/589962 in Debian BTS
against the package boson. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/596237. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
