Debian is not using the exception rule for not using -O3 on ppc64el in their Ghostscript package, simply due to the fact that the whole Debian is done with -O2 by default, on all architectures.
Are there also problems with -O3 on ppc64el with other packages than Ghostscript? Should we perhaps use -O2 as general default for ppc64el? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ghostscript in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1862053 Title: Compiler gets stuck (or extremely slow) on ppc64el Status in gcc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: I have uploaded Ghostscript 9.50 to focal and it built without any problem on all architectures but ppc64el. On ppc64el the compiler seems to get stuck (or extremely slow) on one of the files of Ghostscript (devices/vector/gdevpdfb.c, I tried twice). This leads to the build process being killed after 150 minutes.
