Package: zeroc-ice Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source
For some reason, zeroc-ice defaults to building with -m32 on AMD64. On Debian, this is inappropriate and generally doomed to failure, particularly given that g++ -m32 is currently broken due to missing headers (g++-4.0 bug #357062). As such, could you please drop or disable the special x86_64 case in config/Make.rules.Linux? [Catering to it by setting LP64=yes nominally works, but a lot of files end up installed into /usr/lib64 (also inappropriate on Debian) and thereby unpackaged.] BTW, I also observed warning messages indicating that src/icecpp/prefix.c needs to include <string.h> for icecpp to run correctly on 64-bit systems; could you please fix that too?
