GNU libffcall 1.13 is released

2017-06-24 Thread Bruno Haible
Hi,

GNU libffcall 1.13 is released. You find the download link at the homepage
https://www.gnu.org/software/libffcall/

New in 1.13:

* The license has been changed from GPLv2 to GPLv2+.

* Added support for the following platforms:
  (Previously, a build on these platforms failed.)
  - x86_64: Mac OS X 64-bit.
  - x86_64: Solaris 64-bit.
  - x86_64: Linux with x32 ABI: CC="gcc -mx32".
  - arm: Linux 32-bit, without hardware floats.
  - arm64: Linux 64-bit.
  - s390x: Linux 64-bit.
  - powerpc: AIX 64-bit.
  - mips: IRIX 6.5 with CC="cc -32".
  - sparc: Solaris 64-bit.

* Fixed support for the following platforms:
  (Previously, a build on these platforms appeared to succeed but was buggy.)
  - x86_64: Linux.
  - arm: Linux 32-bit, with hardware floats.
  - powerpc: Linux 64-bit.
  - mips: Linux with CC="gcc -mabi=32".
  - mips: Linux with CC="gcc -mabi=n32".
  - mips: Linux with CC="gcc -mabi=64".
  - mips: IRIX 6.5 with CC="gcc -mabi=n32".
  - s390: Linux.
  - sparc: Linux 64-bit.
  - ia64: Linux.
  - hppa: HP-UX 32-bit.

* Verified support for the following platforms:
  (A build on these platforms worked and still works.)
  - i386: Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X.
  - powerpc: Linux 32-bit.
  - powerpc: AIX 32-bit.
  - powerpc: MacOS X.
  - mips: IRIX 6.5 with CC="cc -n32".
  - sparc: Solaris 32-bit.
  - sparc: Linux 32-bit: CC="gcc -m32".

* Support for a security feature: On Linux and FreeBSD platforms, linking with
  the libffcall libraries no longer causes the stack to become executable.


According to [1][2], you are packaging libffcall for FreeBSD.

I invite you to upgrade to version 1.13.
With it, you can remove the BROKEN_* lines from [2].
Also, you will no longer need patch-avcall_avcall-sparc64.S [3].

NOTE! Libffcall is usually packaged as a non-shared library. If so, you need
to rebuild the packages that depend on it (in particular, GNU clisp).

Best regards,

   Bruno
