Source: pike8.0 Version: 8.0.1738-1.4 User: [email protected] Usertags: ftcbfs X-Debbugs-Cc: Marek Habersack <[email protected]>
pike8.0 fails to cross build from source, because it links the build architecture libgcc.a. The root cause for this is the patch dynamic_module_makefile.in-libgcc.patch. It invokes the build architecture compiler at build time an sets the LIBGCC variable to the queries result of libgcc. Dropping the patch does not make an amd64 build fail. A cross build proceeds slightly further once dropped. It is not clear to me why this patch is needed and all we have in there is authorship information (added to Cc). In the absence of evidence in favour of this patch, I suggest deleting it. Helmut
