That may work. I should report it upstream either way.
Adding the following to debian/rules worked on the mipsel porterbox
(fbasics still uses CDBS):
extraInstallFlags="--no-byte-compile"
I uploaded that to the Ubuntu PPA builders and it built on arm64 and
ppc64el as well. I also tried building fgarch, which depends on
fbasics, and it built too.
So thank you, this seems to be the solution! I will upload to Ubuntu
proper now and keep an eye on the rest of fbasics' dependants. I'll let
you know how it goes.
Do we (or do "you" at Canonical) give guest accounts on these? I think I
once did a loooong time ago for mips or mipsel or ...
Guest access for Debian porterboxes can be requested [1]. I don't know
about Ubuntu, I think it may be for employees only.
