Package: dietlibc-dev Version: 0.32-5 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I’ve got a slight problem (see also the forwarded message part below). My package mksh builds two executables, a regular one against (e)glibc and mksh-static against dietlibc (if available, not blacklisted, etc). However, I get build failures: ‣ https://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=mksh&arch=sparc Now I’ve been on the porterbox and tried to look at it but failed to isolate the problem – it could very well be in Perl or the Linux ker- nel, but dietlibc is, to be honest, the most likely candidate. Interestingly enough, an unmodified mksh_39.3-3 from the archive also FTBFS on the porterbox (dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -B) sid dchroot. I’m puttint this wishlist because it’s really hard to isolate, and I can understand if you don’t have the resources to build and test mksh against this, but I’d appreciate you leaving this bug opened until the issue is really gone (as a workaround, the next regular upload of mksh will build mksh-static on sparc against eglibc as it does on Ubuntu al- ready due to their broken version). I’m also trying to either acquire a SPARCstation capable of running Debian GNU/Linux (while I tried to install etch on an SS20 so that I could run sid in a chroot, the two SS20en I own have hardware is- sues (one esp(4) failure, one exploded Elko) and the sun4zoo.de guy has yet to tell me when I can come over and get some, my SS10 doesn’t have enough power (CPU, RAM, HDD) for it, and my SS5 has that one CPU that only works reliable with BSD), or get a friend who has an Ultra to put Debian on it and give me root. Then I could try to pin it down to a specific version, maybe (with snapshot.d.o’s help). No promises regarding a timeframe though ☹ Thanks, //mirabilos – t...@d.o -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him.
