reassign 285006 binutils thanks
I have reason to believe that the build failure of gmp (bts 285006) is caused by the binutils patch applied to fix bts 278836. Gmp revision 4.1.4-4 was successfully built on 2004-10-24 http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=gmp&ver=4.1.4-4&arch=ia64&stamp=1098614396&file=log&as=raw but revision -5 failed on 2004-11-28 http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=gmp&ver=4.1.4-5&arch=ia64&stamp=1101659366&file=log&as=raw The change in GMP was simply to NOT run the test suite when cross-compiling. For the ia64 build, obviously, there was no change. The only toolchain difference between the two was binutils: binutils_2.15-4 in October but binutils_2.15-5 in November. This change corresponds to fixing 278836, which had something to do with "unwind". Gmp failed to find symbol _Unwind_Resume. I figure the patch must be buggy. When this bug is fixed, would the ia64-powers-that-be please schedule a build of gmp. Thanks, -Steve
