Please unblock package tcc tcc in squeeze is unable to link a program into an executable on amd64 when it uses string functions (strlen and co). As almost all C program use string functions, I consider this bug serious. The version in unstable contains a fix and it consists of just a few lines. The fix was introduced in tcc 0.9.25-4 which stayed in unstable for almost 2 months without bringing any new bug. Version 0.9.25-5 is there only for a few days but the only change is to drop armel architecture as tcc doesn't build on armel because of a failure in the test suite. Changes between version 0.9.25-3 are: tcc (0.9.25-5) unstable; urgency=low * Drop support for armel arch. => tcc has never built on armel tcc (0.9.25-4) unstable; urgency=low * Fix bashims in configure and gcctestsuite.sh. => This is a release goal. * Add support for indirect functions as externals. => This is the few line fix. * Bump Standard-Version from 3.8.4 to 3.9.1 (no changes needed). * debian/control: - Improve package description for libtcc-dev. => If this last change causes a problem with regards to the translations I can make a new upload without the improved description Best regards and good luck for the squeeze release. unblock tcc/0.9.25-5 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
