[I'm posting this in place of landry@ who's too apathetic.] Below are the logs from the build failures on alpha for the 5.8 release build (minus some machine-independent ones that have already been fixed).
A systematic problem are ports that use MODULES=gcc4, which resolves to GCC 4.6 on alpha and that version is too old and lacks required features. x11/vlc fails because __builtin_parity() isn't supported. I'm sure that can be fixed one way or the other. editors/emacs errors our in configure because tputs() can't be found. That doesn't make any sense. tputs() is in libncurses and its links libcurses/libtermcap/libtermlib. The configure script should have found it several times over. Something else must be going on there. http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/cad/openscad.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/databases/tdb.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/devel/cxxtools.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/devel/libtalloc.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/devel/liburcu.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/devel/py-subvertpy.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/devel/ti-msp430gcc.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/editors/emacs.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/editors/emacs21.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/editors/texmaker.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/emulators/mednafen.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/graphics/freeimage.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/graphics/openimageio.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/graphics/simgear.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/lang/php/5.4.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/lang/php/5.5,ap2,-bz2.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/lang/php/5.6.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/math/R.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/math/openfst.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/multimedia/mkvtoolnix,no_x11.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/net/libtorrent.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/net/znc.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/productivity/akonadi.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/sysutils/facter.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/www/squid/snapshot.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/x11/kde4/smokegen.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/x11/qt5.log http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net//alpha/2015-08-08/x11/vlc,.log PS: Could somebody explain to landry@ how to set up nginx so that it doesn't send two contradictory Content-Type headers? -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
