Package: debootstrap
Version: 0.3.3
Tags: patch
Hi,
debootstrap requires either perl or pkgdetails. Since it is probably not
easy to install perl I tried to compile pkgdetails.c.
Crosscompiling failed:
$ /usr/mips/bin/mips-linux-gcc -mabi=64 pkgdetails.c -o pkgdetails
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
/usr/mips/lib/gcc-lib/mips-linux/3.3.3/../../../../mips-linux/bin/ld:
/tmp/ccm6vkAa.o: ABI is incompatible with that of the selected emulation
/usr/mips/lib/gcc-lib/mips-linux/3.3.3/../../../../mips-linux/bin/ld:
failed to merge target specific data of file /tmp/ccm6vkAa.o
It seems to work now without -mabi=64 but I don't remember why I tried
to use this option nevertheless.
I also tried it with IRIX's cc and got a compile error which is fixed
by the following patch. Since debootstrap is used to install Debian, you
cannot assume a proper Debian system to create pkgdetails.

I strongly suggest you provide the binary pkgdetails to simplify the
usage of debootstrap since I had to crosscompile it already for another
installation.
