Hello, there is a tedious but easy task to be fulfilled for the m68k port which could be crowdsourced which is collecting all packages that fail to build from source (FTBFS) due to the 2-byte alignment on m68k.
This can be done by looking at the following page: - https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=m68k&suite=sid Then look at the package list in "Build-Attempted" and click on any package such as "libtpms" which leads to: - https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libtpms&suite=sid Click on the red "Build-Attempted" field for the m68k architecture row to inspect the build log and find the cause for the build failure. To find the exact point where the build failed, it's usually wise to search for the string "error:" (without the quotes) and you get in this case: tpm2/BackwardsCompatibilityObject.c:77:1: error: static assertion failed: "OLD_TPMT_PUBLIC has wrong size" 77 | static_assert(sizeof(OLD_TPMT_PUBLIC) == 356, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ tpm2/BackwardsCompatibilityObject.c:160:1: error: static assertion failed: "OLD_OBJECT has wrong size" 160 | static_assert(sizeof(OLD_OBJECT) == 1896, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ The failing static assertion is a clear indicator for an FTBFS due to the 2-byte alignment on m68k. This is because the smaller alignment causes the structs in question to be smaller due to the smaller alignment causing denser packing of the struct. Thus, libtpms has been identified as a package that FTBFS on m68k due the 2-byte alignment issue and should be added to the following wiki page: - https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/Alignment See the history of the wiki page for a hint on how to add another package to the list: - https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/Alignment?action=info So, in the case of libtpms, add the package after libsdl3 in the list and use a changelog entry like "Add libtpms to list of affected packages". Getting the list as complete as possible will be useful to further discuss the alignment issue on m68k. PS: On Debian, build logs can also be downloaded with the getbuildlog utility from the devscripts package. See the instructions at the top of every build log shown on buildd.debian.org.
