I'll try sending again just to you...  The attached "packages" file was
on the order of 500k, and it's possible an upstream mailer got offended
at the message size.  In *this* letter, I'll append the list gzipped.

Here's the relevant portion of that earlier posting:

gcc is version 9.2.1 (Debian 9.2.1-19)
ld is version 2.33.1 (binutils 2.33.1-4)
kernel version is 5.3.0 built from the kernel.org source tree

Other packages are as in the attached "packages" file ("dpkg -l"
output).

Started the "guile-2.2" build.  So far, so good after 12+ hours :-).

I don't seem to have received that message.

Taking it that you did use up to date toolchain then that is rather
interesting that guile-2.0 built for you.  I ran a test rebuild a
week or two ago and it failed.

Maybe I should try again, but if it fails for me again that would
raise issues of:

- UP versus SMP since I test built on an SMP system.

- sbuild environment.

I will set a test rebuild going again soon and report back.

Yes, built against up to date sid.

Cheers
Michael.

I think I answered the toolchain question in my reply to Adrian's
earlier message.  There was an attached "packages" file with the complete
list of what I've got installed on the PWS.

The toolchain is up-to-date, but I don't have the infrastructure to
support a clean chroot environment, even on another local system if I
were to try and use a cross-compiler vs. a native build.  In reference
to the build dependencies, if particular versions aren't specified, or
are only loosely specified (e.g., >= some value), are the dependencies
considered "best" satisfied with a stable package version meeting the
requirement?  Or is the current unstable version of a dependency
preferred when building for "sid"?  Many variables to consider, I guess.

Did you build with latest toolchain?  I suspect the issue has
appeared with toolchain changes (hard to pin down when because there
was quite a period in which a new version of guile-2.0 was not
uploaded).

And the bug (a segfault when texi documentation is built with the
recently built guild executable) looks to be present elsewhere too
(take a look at #941218 where comment #10 seen on Ubuntu looks 
suspiciously like what we see on Alpha assuming it occurs at the
same place).

Thanks.  That answers my question ;-)   I was thinking if they were on GitLab 
or similar one could pull intermediate builds for testing.

If someone could kindly provide the link for issues for Alpha that would be 
most helpful.

What do you mean with "public facing"? They are on the internet, of course,
but they are not publicly accessible for obvious reasons.

What build environment did you use? Were you on the latest version of gcc-9
and binutils? Was the default compiler gcc-9 or anything lower?

In order to be able to use them, you need the .changes and .buildinfo files
as well. And the build must not include the all.deb package, only the
architecture-dependent packages.

Are the build servers for Alpha public facing?   I plan to test install on

I downloaded the Debian source for "guile-2.0_2.0.13+1-5.3" and successfully
built the binary packages on my PWS-433au without having to modify anything.
My guess is some kind of toolchain or other build environment issue on
the "buildd" servers.

I downloaded the Debian source for "guile-2.0_2.0.13+1-5.3" and successfully
built the binary packages on my PWS-433au without having to modify anything.
My guess is some kind of toolchain or other build environment issue on
