Package: dateutils
Version: 0.3.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

Please can you remove the -march=native flag when compiling dateutils.
This flag causes errors if the machine you build the package on is not
completely identical to the machine you run the programs on.

For example: I have a MIPS Fuloong 2F machine, but when running
dateutils (eg dateutils.dconv now) I just get a SIGILL because it uses
more recent instructions.

I found this out because your package fails to build on Loongson
machines with some test failures. I think this was caused by a hardware
FPU bug which only appears when compiling with -march=native (at least
removing that option makes the tests pass).

Thanks,
James
