Hi, I’ll be looking at debian-mips via GMane for a while, but I’m not subscribed permanently so I’d appreciate being Cc’d.
As you can see, I have managed to isolate a testcase: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10144 → http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=4550&action=view I also managed, yesterday, on qemu (thanks aurel32 for the base image) to build one of the packages with forcing -g off: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1589 Jan 24 00:47 mopac7_1.15-1_mipsel.changes To do so, however, I had to patch the cdbs *shudder* thing in-place AND remove the -g from FFLAGS in debian/rules. So I think, if squeeze comes close and the binutils bug persists, we should consider changing the gcc-defaults package to deliver a script instead of a symlink each, which _ap_pends 「-g0」 to the user-provided compile command, since patching the build system is often very intrusive (as can be seen by cdbs *shudder* forcibly adding -g – policy-backed, IIRC). Maybe make that de- pendent on an environment variable, which the buildd admin can set for packages affected by this problem. On the other hand, let’s hope for upstream to provide a fix or Doko(?) to find the changeset if it has been fixed already, for now. bye, //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
