Version: 1.25-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
edflib fails to build on big endian architectures. While it fails
quickly, it still requires creating a chroot and it looks like a real
failure. Would you mind lifting this into a build dependency expressing
the constraint? Thus edflib would become permanently bd-uninstallable on
all big endian architectures. I'm attaching a patch for your
convenience.
Helmut
