Bug#963987: buster-pu: package libtool/2.4.6-9
Hi, all I meet the same problem when building the latest qemu package on buster. The output of the failed build log is : ``` . powerpc64-linux-gnu-ar cru libfs.a xxx.o xxx.o (a lot of .o's omitted); powerpc64-linux-gnu-ranlib libfs.a powerpc64-linux-gnu-ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U') cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[1]: *** [rules.mak:233: target/drivers/usbohci.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs ``` It seems that the problem is related to the option `cru` to ar at first look. However, it's not the case. Rhe cause of the build failure is actually in usbohci.c: ``` /home//qemu/qemu/qemu-6.0+dfsg/roms/openbios/drivers/usbohci.c:46:32: error: unknown option after '#pragma GCC diagnostic' kind [-Werror=pragmas] #pragma GCC diagnostic warning "-Waddress-of-packed-member" ^~~~ ``` That's because the option `-Waddress-of-packed-member` is introduced in gcc 9, and we only have gcc 8 on buster. I'm posting this information here, in case anyone should reach this bug report via search engine. Cheers, Miao Wang

We can't approve an update simply based on a pointer to a bug. Please attach a copy of the proposed debdiff against the current package in stable, having built and tested it on a stable system.
