Since nearly over a year now the gnu-smalltalk is broken on Ubuntu (since maverick to be precise) on my amd64 developer machine. Since this time I have now to dual-boot with a GenToo to develop with GST since Ubuntu only has the i368 version but not the amd64 version.

Why exactly is there no amd64 version since over a year whereas GenToo has an amd64 version and it works splendid? Is it because of this one test case which fails in the build logs?

 111: DBD-MySQL                                       skipped (testsuite.at:149)
 116: GDBM                                            FAILED (testsuite.at:154)

 ERROR: 125 tests were run,
 1 failed unexpectedly.
 1 test was skipped.

A skipped test is nothing special and GDBM failing the test by itself also nothing special (it's under "other package"). Is it not possible to do something about this? It's quite a nuisance to dual-boot just because an amd64 version is refused to be done.
