We skipped this test on GCC versions earlier than 7 (because it was known broken, but should have started working in 7, and won't be fully fixed until GCC 8 IIRC). I ran the full test suite on packaging on i386 and it passed without errors. > By the way, I notice that this version was uploaded as a binary upload > instead of a source-only upload. I think this is because pitti's sbuilder had an issue and it crashed the test runner when trying to determine the number of CPUs in the system. IIRC the same issue was in reproducible build environment ages ago. Under pbuilder the compilation works without issues.
