Hi,
I tried to narrow down what broke clustalo on mipsel.
The test from 1.2.4-5 passes with the binary in buster,
but not when rebuilding it in buster.
gcc versions:
7: works
8: broken
9: broken
10: broken
clustalo in buster was built with gcc 7, a rebuild with the gcc 8 now in
buster would result in a broken binary.
Rebuilding with gcc 8 with -O0 does not work around the problem,
this is unlikely to be the the common case of optimization changes
breaking buggy code.
What does fix the problem is disabling OpenMP.
I suspect OpenMP is somehow broken in gcc >= 8 on mipsel.
Below is a workaround patch (lower performance of clustalo on mipsel
shouldn't be a major problem).
