Source: libhugetlbfs
Version: 2.20-2
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

Builds of libhugetlbfs for several Linux architectures (so far, mips,
mips64el, and the non-release architectures hppa, m68k, and sh4) all
failed promptly with errors along the lines of

  Makefile:116: *** "Unrecognized architecture (mips)".  Stop.
  make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
  debian/rules:25: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_clean' failed
  make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_clean] Error 2
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
  debian/rules:22: recipe for target 'clean' failed
  make: *** [clean] Error 2

If you can readily add support for any or all of these architectures,
that would be great.  Otherwise, you might consider restricting the
package's architecture list to match what the build system allows.

At a minimum, please restrict the architecture list to linux-any; the
build for kfreebsd-i386 (admittedly not a release architecture) made
it through the CPU architecture filter but then failed because it
tried to #include unavailable <linux/*.h> headers, and I presume the
same will happen on hurd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64 (not release
architectures either) in due course.

Thanks!
