Package: libgc
Version: 7.1
Severity: important
Hi,
This message is to share the effort of fixing FTBFS
of libgc.
I maintain Gauche in Debian:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gauche.html
Gauche comes with its own libgc 7.1, and I managed
to build it successfully for all architectures.
I am speaking version 0.9-11 of gauche package.
(1) libatomic-ops-dev
I use libatomic-ops-dev package.
This update is needed for s390, mipsel, and sh4.
(2) Changes from upstream
I pick up some important fix from upstream.
gauche-0.9/debian/patches/05_libgc_fix.patch
This is needed for hppa, sparc, and sparc64.
(3) Bug fixes for upstream
I found two bugs. Please check the GC mailing list
of this month.
gauche-0.9/debian/patches/12_libgc_fix__EXCEPTIONS.patch
gauche-0.9/debian/patches/14_libgc_fix_threadlocal.patch
This is needed for ia64.
I would be happy to co-maintain libgc package for Debian, if needed.
