Package: gcc-4.1
Version: 4.1.2-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated packages

gcc-4.1 4.1.1-21 had this file:

  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.2/32/libgcc.a

which gcc-4.1 4.1.2-5 no longer provides.  This breaks build of every package
building biarch 32-bit stuff that relies on libgcc.

I tested a few of them and found that at least the following packages no
longer build:

  grub2
  alsa-lib
  bzip2
  ncurses
  readline5
  zlib

-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0
  APT prefers stable
  APT policy: (500, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64
Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)

Argh, sorry.  As Aurelien just pointed out, gcc-multilib has the missing files.

To make it backport-friendly, I suggest to use the following in each of the
affected packages:

  gcc-multilib [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 ppc64] | gcc-4.1 (<< 4.1.2) [amd64 
kfreebsd-amd64 ppc64]
