reassign 419742 quantlib-swig

thanks

Dirk,

This reassignment of an RC bug to the toolchain has blocked all of lenny for
another day, because it happened right when glibc was ready to enter
testing.  Please consider when reassigning bugs to the toolchain whether
these bugs are RC for the toolchain, as distinct from being RC for your
package.

I'm reassigning this bug back to quantlib-swig, because this *is* the
package with the RC bug; as Thiemo noted, the build failure happens as a
consequence of the special-case use of -O0 on mips* in the package's build
rules.  The build failure is of this package, and it can be resolved without
any changes to the toolchain.

The toolchain, further, works fine on mips for almost all other packages.
There are limits to the number of symbols the toolchain supports on mips,
yes, but even mozilla is able to work within those limits -- this simply
does not make the toolchain unreleasable (we've released the toolchain with
this limitation for as long as we've been releasing mips).

The eaccess issue in glibc might be considered RC, though I haven't seen
anything before now to indicate people consider it a bug in glibc instead of
bugs in the packages with conflicting declarations for eaccess().  The
number of packages affected by this issue is quite small (compared to the
number of packages that are waiting on glibc right now for testing
propagation, definitely!), and in all such cases involves unnecessary
shadowing of a system declaration, so unless someone shows that the new
glibc declaration is just plain *wrong*, I don't see any reason yet to
consider it a glibc bug.

Thanks,
