Hi,
Based on the patch provided by Adam, the attached patch fixes FTBFS on
ppc64el. It adds ppc64el to the arches using -ffp-contract=off.
Hoping it helps,
Erwan.

While scilab is available on ppc64el, it doesn't actually work:

Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
getfem++ doesn't build on ppc64el. Let me know if you need any details.
> powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall
> -Wstrict-prototypes -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -g -O2
>
returned exit code 2
debian/rules:30: recipe for target 'build-arch' failed
make: *** [build-arch] Error 2
This can be fixed by using the __linux__ macro instead of __linux.
The attached patch, applied in Ubuntu, fixes this issue.
Thanks for considering the patch.
Erwan Prioul.
