Hi again, if someone is bored, maybe that’s something to hack.
bye, //mirabilos -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.

This is probably > what you were hinting at with saying it has never worked on m68k. There is alot of code in elfutils that is arch specific, as far as I know all related to dwarf debug information. The source files are in the backends/ directory and end up in the libdw1 binary package. There is a minimal patch in the source packages: debian/patches/m68k_backend.diff. There are tests that for instance try to read a compiled file with debug info, and they will probably fail for m68k binaries. So the libdw1 package is probably currenly in a useless state on m68k, but the libelf1 binary package should not be a problem at all. I see 2 ways to fix your problem: - Disable the m68k backend completly and don't create an libdw1/libdw-dev package on m68k. - Add proper support for m68k. I think to be able to pass the regression tests you need atleast information about the return location of various types. Atleast that's the error shown in the last buildd log I have. And m68k is the only arch not having an *_retval.c file. I would prefer the second solution. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
