Version: 2.3.4-13
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: sparc64
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi,
Currently src:motif FTBFS on sparc64 due to wml crashing with SIGBUS (no
build logs available, as libfl-dev was broken on sparc64 until just
recently, masking the issue). This is because wml.c has yyleng defined
as a size_t, which was correct for versions of flex between 2.5.36 and
2.6.1, but this violated POSIX[0] and so yyleng was reverted back to an
int in 2.6.1[1]. When building on sparc64, yyleng just happens to be
aligned to a 4-byte boundary but not an 8-byte boundary, so doing an
8-byte store to it is unaligned and traps, but on other architectures
this will silently zero out the next 4 bytes in memory.
Please apply the attached debdiff to revert wml.c back to defining
yyleng as an external int, and also add a version constraint to
libfl-dev to ensure motif is not accidentally built with an older
version of flex without reinstating the hunk. With it I can successfully
build motif on sparc64.
Regards,
James
