Does it cause a problem in use? I disabled it because powerpc builds correctly without it. As far as I've been able to see (but I'm new maintaining this package) this setting is only really used by the bundled alloca.c, which is not really used by us, anyways, since gcc has a perfectly usable built-in alloca. Thus, the setting ends up being nothing but a compile time check with no actual effect in the resulting library. OTOH, if it does cause a problem in powerpc, I'll gladly add it back. I need to set it for mips (and maybe mipsel) anyways. I'd like to undesrstand what the problem is, though, and talk to upstream about it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
