| yeah, r-base is hitting this bug. As a _workaround_, you can patch the
| r-base package with the joined patch. It'll disable the '-g' flag when

Thanks for the patch (and the upstream maintainer for configure / m4 is
CC'ed). I will prepare a new r-base upload for Debian.
Any idea why tcltk dies on mips when -g is present? Is that being
addressed on on mips or in tcl/tk?
