Package: gforth Version: 0.6.2-7.2 Severity: normal Tags: patch gforth 0.6.2-7.2 is built without ffcall support. This makes it nearly impossible to use libraries and some of the scripts included with gforth.
Solution: add libffcall1-dev to the Build-Depends line of debian/control. There is an ubuntu bug about this, including a patch to fix it, but the sponsor would like to hear thoughts from debian before going further: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gforth/+bug/269127 The change is just adding ", libffcall1-dev" to the end of the Build-Depends line of debian/control.
