thanks
When discussing the sparc bug* Eric Botcazou from gcc upstream claimed
...you should never configure the compiler with --disable-checking, even in a
cross configuration. This will save a few percents in compilation times but
disables critical internal checking; you risk silently generating wrong code.
As a matter of fact, remove this switch is a workaround for the problem.
The attatched patch removes this switch from debian/rules I have tested this
on mips and mipsel in qemu (unfortunately debian sparc won't run in qemu anymore
so I can't try that) and they are still building gcc-avr over 8 hours later
(which is far longer than it takes the unmodfied version to fail) so it
seems they are fixed by this change.
Combining my qemu tests with upstreams assertion I belive this patch will
make the package build on mips, mipsel and sparc and hence make it able to
transition to testing.
* I do not know for sure whether the sparc and mipsel failures have the same
underlying cause but they seem suspiciously similar to me.
