This bug seems to only trigger on alpha, maybe because of some alignment contraints or something – I really don't have any idea… – and thus I can't find a workaround for it. (If you want to be nice to me, get an alpha and try the diff below; I don't really want to have my sponsor upload another package if it's not really working around the alpha bug.) I can only suspect the bug is triggered by use of -std=gnu99 (the restrict keyword makes the difference, which doesn't exist in c89), but not on all architectures, but, on the other hand, the bug is actually in machine in- dependent code and a bug in the libc headers. --- mksh-29.2/debian/rules.orig 2007-04-29 20:59:31.000000000 +0000 +++ mksh-29.2/debian/rules 2007-04-29 20:59:35.000000000 +0000 @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ BUILD_ENV:= BUILD_ENV+= CC='${CC}' BUILD_ENV+= CFLAGS='${CFLAGS}' # possibly work around PR#408850 -#BUILD_ENV+= HAVE_CAN_STDG99=0 +BUILD_ENV+= HAVE_CAN_STDG99=0 build: build-stamp Caveat: this is just a (possible) work-around, not a fix. But if it turns out to indeed make mksh buildable on alpha again, I'll have an upgraded mksh package uploaded. bye, //mirabile -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm.
