Hi, as promised a short status update:
There have been quite some changes upstream-wise, but unfortunately it still doesn't build with current gcc version found in unstable(see TLDR about the reason). Amd I've been once again accounted to do the upstream release... So with my upstream hat on: I'd very much like to stay FAUmachine in the archive, however with my DM hat, I think it's best to remove the binary packages for now to not block anything. Are you OK with this plan and/or do you have good advice for me? Cheers, Stefan. TLDR: FAUmachine uses a forked version of qemu to build a just-in-time compiler. The idea from Fabrice Bellard is brilliant: Code the emulation of assembly instructions in C and let gcc produce binary code for it. Then use a script to mange this binary code to be usable as input as basic blocks for the jut-in-time-compiler. Unfortunately, at this script is highly dependent on the produced assembly code (e.g. just one return instruction per function) and this usually breaks with every new gcc version :(. This results in the current build breakage, and while this has been fixed for the gcc version in stable, breakage occurs with the current gcc version in unstable.
