Package: src:libgc
Version: 7.2d-6
Followup-For: Bug #732349
Thanks for updating the package to use autoreconf, which ought to have
fixed it for arm64, butin fact this hasn't worked, as explained in the
long thread on debian-devel this week about autotools-dev and
dh-autoreconf.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/04/msg00459.html
Because you used the upstream autogen.sh file (not unreasonably), and
the config.sub (but not guess, oddly) in the package was too old it
still didn't get updated files.
And in fact it turns out that the upstream autogen.sh file doesn't do
anything useful and just breaks building in the 'new arch'
circumstance it's best not used:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/04/msg00497.html
So here's a patch that works.
(actually it just configures correctly and tries to build with this but falls
over for a different reason:
In file included from ./include/private/gc_priv.h:94:0,
from allchblk.c:17:
./include/private/gcconfig.h:518:5: error: #error "The collector has not been
ported to this machine/OS combinat
ion."
# error "The collector has not been ported to this machine/OS combination."

In file included from ./include/private/gc_priv.h:94:0,
from allchblk.c:17:
./include/private/gcconfig.h:2433:3: error: #error --> undefined ALIGNMENT
# error --> undefined ALIGNMENT
The fix for this is in
http://patches.ubuntu.com/libg/libgc/libgc_1:7.2d-5ubuntu2.patch but
I've not integrated and tested that, and may not have time for a while
as I'm off the Opensuse conf and then holiday for a week or two.
At least part of that patch is bogus - pkg-kde-tools and symbolhelped
is fine on arm64 now, but the rest looks about right.
So, thanks for being a poster-boy for the dh-autoreconf discussion - I
think we've reached a sensible place on all that. And either apply
that ubuntu patch too to get this to work or wait till I have time to
do so.
You can see build attempts for libgc on arm64 here:
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/package.php?p=libgc&suite=sid
And I can get you access to a machine if you need it.
