Control: severity -1 serious Control: retitle -1 Incorrect use of DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU leads to baseline violation on armel
Subject: Re: openh264: FTBFS on x32 Followup-For: Bug #1013097 Source: openh264 Version: 2.3.1+dfsg-2 User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: armel X-Debbugs-CC: debian-...@lists.debian.org Hello! This is actually a much more serious issue as the incorrect usage of DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU leads to a baseline violation on at least armel where the package is being built with "-march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon" while armel is armv5t. As a result, openh264 would crash on any armel machine. The severity of this bug report therefore needs to be raised to serious and the ARCH detection mechanism in debian/rules needs to be rewritten to not use DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU which is not the correct variable to be queried. Instead, one must query DEB_HOST_ARCH and set ARCH accordingly in the case of amd64 which needs to be mapped to x86_64. Alternatively, we can patch build/platform-linux.mk to match the architectures correctly. Adrian -- .''`.
