Hi Michael,
I haven’t been able to make progress yet, as I currently don’t have
access to a ppc64 machine.
However, recent buildd results show that rsyslog builds successfully on
ppc64, so the issue does not appear to be reproducible at the moment.
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?
pkg=rsyslog&arch=ppc64&ver=8.2512.0-3&stamp=1767828117&raw=0
The original bug report was about rsyslog segfaulting on
Apple Xserve G5 hardware.
At the same time rsyslog failed to build on ppc64
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=rsyslog&arch=ppc64&ver=8.2408.0-1&stamp=1724210236&raw=0
The build logs contained segfaults of the rsyslogd binary. So the two
issues might be related
Please let me know if you would like me to revisit this later.
I'm going to close this bug report again.
If Stuart can still reproduce the issue with an up-to-date sid system,
we can reopen the bug report.
And as said, then it would be best if Stuart is going to also file this
upstream.
