regarding src:chicken: FTBFS on x32: wrongly assumes that __x86_64__ implies 64
bits

Package: src:chicken
Version: 4.8.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source
In chicken.h, the following line:
# if defined (__alpha__) || defined(__ia64__) || defined(__x86_64__) ||
defined(__LP64__) || defined(__powerpc64__)
contains both a zoology of systems, and the actual feature it is looking
for. The zoology is wrong: if the CPU is capable of 64 bit code, this does
not mean that the architecture you're building for has 64 bit pointers.
Because of compatibility with plenty of code that assumes sizeof(long) ==
sizeof(void*), x32 has longs of only 32 bits. What you want to check here,
is whether longs are 64 bit.
A fix:
change that line to:
# ifdef __LP64__
This lets chicken build on both amd64 and x32.

Hi!
The FTBFS was on 4.8.0, 4.9.0 builds correctly. Too bad, for whatever
reason it's currently set as Not-For-Us, but I just asked the wb-team to
drop that flag.
In any case, this patch is obsolete and doesn't apply.
