Hello Luca and Jérémy, We (as I work for imgtec.com as well) will support this patch and it will be submitted upstream. I'll build libv8-3.14 again on mips and mipsel with Jurica's patch posted at: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736332#30 Regards, Aníbal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
