Package: libgccjit0 Version: 6.3.0-18+deb9u1 Severity: serious Dear Maintainer,
Some dependencies are missing on libgccjit0 to make it actually useful. In a minimal chroot, trying to execute a minimal example (such as the first example in the libgccjit tutorial¹) will fail, because the GNU assembler is not present. However, installing binutils is not enough, because libgccjit also needs stuff from libgcc-N-dev (where N=6 in stretch, N=8 in sid). But installing the latter is still not enough, because curiously libgccjit looks at the wrong place for crtbeginS.o. In the end I had to install the full gcc-N package to run the minimal example. So gcc should be made a dependency of libgccjit0 (unless you manage to reduce it to a smaller dependency set). Best, ¹ https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/cp/intro/tutorial01.html -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
