Thanks for that - saved me hours.
So it turns out that simply rebuilding troff (with or without nostrip)
makes this error go away. So I guess there is a latent bug here about
the build environment which is only noticed in a bootstrap situation.
Given the code in question I'd guess it was something to with getting confused
about int sizes:
in: src/roff/troff/number.cpp
case '*':
if (v2 < 0) {
if (*v > 0) {
if ((unsigned)*v > -(unsigned)INT_MIN / -(unsigned)v2)
overflow = 1;
}
else if (-(unsigned)*v > INT_MAX / -(unsigned)v2)
overflow = 1;
}
else if (v2 > 0) {
if (*v > 0) {
if (*v > INT_MAX / v2)
overflow = 1;
}
else if (-(unsigned)*v > -(unsigned)INT_MIN / v2)
overflow = 1;
}
if (overflow) {
error("multiplication overflow");
return 0;
}
I'm not sufficiently interested to follow this any further right now as
a binNMU has unbunged debhelper and thus several thousand source packages in
the buildd :-)
Comparing the build logs:
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=groff&arch=arm64&ver=1.22.2-5&stamp=1396359138
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=groff&arch=arm64&ver=1.22.2-5%2Bb1&stamp=1396456563
the builds themselves are identical apart from 3 date instances, but some
packages had changed:
Broken:
tzdata (2014a-1)
libtasn1-3:arm64 (2.14-3)
libk5crypto3:arm64 (1.11.3+dfsg-3)

libcupsimage2:arm64 (1.7.1-12)
libcupsfilters1:arm64 (1.0.50-1)

I'm guessing that the mismatched groff-base might be the issue, or
presence/absence of libtasn1-3?
I'll leave it up to you whether to simply close this as not interesting or
easily reproducible.
