According to the build logs, openjdk-8 fails to configure on mips and mips64el:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=openjdk-8
So this particular error seems to be due to setting CC=gcc-4.9 in
debian/rules, but gcc-4.9 isn't a build-dependency! So config.guess
which tries to run $CC, always fails since it can't find it.
It built on mipsel due to a typo in debian/rules allowing openjdk to
build with gcc-5 on mipsel - which apparently works.
Thanks! I'll switch mipsel to GCC 5 then.
I remember that GCC 5 worked on mipsel, while it failed on mips in the bootcycle
build. Could you verify this as well?
Testing using GCC 5 would be welcome for mips and mips64el.
I'm thinking to just disable openjdk builds on the mips* platforms. The feedback
from the porters is rare, and non-migration to testing holds back security
updates.
I really hope that doesn't have to happen - but if noone else can help
out (at least testing the gcc-5 stuff), then that may be the best thing
to do.
So keeping mipsel and dropping mips then?
