Ok, to avoid confusion, this is the page for our hppa builds: https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=m4&arch=hppa What I meant before was that the failed build at "2025-09-01 19:52:35", made with Linux 6.12.x, was a regression over the previous successful build of 1.4.19-8 at "2025-04-20 19:39:15", also made with Linux 6.12.x. The current build, made at "2025-09-01 23:31:59", which was successful, was done with Linux 6.1.x. > It is possible that the Debian 13 kernel has a problem that the Debian > 12 kernel does not have.
