Bug#727829: FTBFS on mipsel
Package: kfreebsd-10 Version: 10.0~svn257123-1 Severity: grave It seems kfreebsd-10 FTBFS on mipsel due to compiler issues (missing -lgcc maybe?): https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=kfreebsd-10arch=mipselver=10.0~svn257123-1stamp=1382831349 As compiler support for kernel is becoming increasingly troublesome because of the gcc version divergence (upstream uses gcc-4.2 for mips, not clang), unless somebody steps in I will disable mipsel support until a simpler (i.e. requiring less manpower) solution is available (such as, upstream moving mips toolchain to clang). FTR, even former versions which built succesfully are not bootable under QEMU/MALTA, unlike those built on FreeBSD (e.g. the one in http://people.debian.org/~rmh/kfreebsd-mipsel/) -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#727829: FTBFS on mipsel
Robert Millan r...@debian.org (2013-10-27): It seems kfreebsd-10 FTBFS on mipsel due to compiler issues (missing -lgcc maybe?): https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=kfreebsd-10arch=mipselver=10.0~svn257123-1stamp=1382831349 As compiler support for kernel is becoming increasingly troublesome because of the gcc version divergence (upstream uses gcc-4.2 for mips, not clang), unless somebody steps in I will disable mipsel support until a simpler (i.e. requiring less manpower) solution is available (such as, upstream moving mips toolchain to clang). FTR, even former versions which built succesfully are not bootable under QEMU/MALTA, unlike those built on FreeBSD (e.g. the one in http://people.debian.org/~rmh/kfreebsd-mipsel/) A slightly different question would be: why should we care about mipsel at all?
