I've been trying to track down a FTBFS problem with gnubg on hppa and m68k and I think I've finally figured it out. gnubg uses ftgl-dev for 3D text, and ftgl-dev builds only a static C++ library. The build on hppa and m68k fails with lots of undefined symbol errors from libftgl.a, most notably __gxx_personality_sj0 and _Unwind_SjLj_Register (and friends).
It looks like what's happened is that between gcc 3.3 and gcc 4.0, hppa and m68k have both moved away from SJLJ exception handling (yay!), but ftgl-dev's static library hasn't been rebuilt with a g++ that uses the new exception handling. As a result, when that static library is linked with a current gcc, the linked libsupc++ and libgcc_eh don't include those symbols and the link fails. Is this something that would be fixed with a binNMU of ftgl-dev? Or should I file a regular bug against the package and ask for a regular upload? It seems to work correctly on all platforms other than hppa and m68k. Also, if anything looks faulty about my analysis above, please let me know. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
