Package: zeroc-ice
Version: 3.3.0-7
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

According to buildd.debian.org package zeroc-ice fails to compile on hppa
due to missing POSIX monotonic clocks on libc6. It seems Linux/HPPA still
uses LinuxThreads instead of NPTL.

A possible solution might be to change #ifdef __hpux into #ifdef __hppa in
the appropriate places of the source code in order to disable monotonic
clocks on this platform.  I do not have access to a HPPA machine though.
