Package: tdb Severity: normal Tags: patch Building tdb on sarge i386 running on an athlon 64 fails if running the amd64 kernel provided in sarge. The system type is detected as x86_64 in configure even though the compiler and user space are all i486-linux. A simple solution is to change one line in debian/rules:
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),i386) ENABLE_SPINLOCKS=--with-spinlocks endif to ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),i386) ENABLE_SPINLOCKS=--with-spinlocks --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu endif then it works fine. It actually seems like a flaw in configure/autoconf to get the cpu type as x86_64 when the compiler and libc and all on the system it is running on is saying i486-linux. I think using gcc -dumpmachine would be a better test than uname -m although it is only an issue on mixed 32/64 bit machines I suppose. Either way having builds fail on a system running only packages provided in sarge is rather unfortunate, especially when the machines failing are the fastest machines you can get for building on.
