Package: ipxe Version: 1.0.0+git-20131111.c3d1e78-2 Usertags: goto-cc During a rebuild of all Debian packages in a clean sid chroot (using cowbuilder and pbuilder) the build failed with the following error. Please note that we use our research compiler tool-chain (using tools from the cbmc package), which permits extended reporting on type inconsistencies at link time.

Yet this doesn't seem to match the authors' intent as the compiled code will not have the desired symbols, which are constructed using the macros of compiler.h. Other source files thus have -include include/compiler.h as part of the compiler command line, but this appears to be missing from the above command. Best, Michael
