We have a fairly high number of FTBFS packages in the archive at the moment, a good chunk of them due to toolchain changes (the linker in particular).
As Nigel announced on the Planet [0], we're having a jam to try and fix a bunch of them. Come and join us in #ubuntu-motu today (or for the rest of the week), and get a few more packages building. We've picked a bunch of no-add-needed and as-needed issues to work on [1] [0]: http://nigelb.me/ubuntu/2011/07/27/fix-ftbfs-jam.html [1]: http://corelli.tumbleweed.org.za/ubuntu-qa/bugjam/ I see someone already started last night \o/ In total, it looks like around 200 packages failing to build [2], although there has been some decent progress since I started keeping an eye on it [3] [2]: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/ [3]: http://corelli.tumbleweed.org.za/ubuntu-qa/qa-ftbfs/oneiric-historical.html For more details on these issues, see [4] and [5].
