Source: evolver Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The package evolver fails to build from source on ppc64el. That is due to problems with long double on the architecture. I was able to build it setting the compiler to use -mabi=ieeelongdouble but it did not work well once it was compiled. So I just disabled the build of binary nox-ld for ppc64el. Debdiff is attached. Regards. Fernando
