Verified that the previously-mentioned workaround is applicable to Alpha, and that it works: no more mutex failures. The specific implementation of the workaround for the 1.1-1 source package is to patch "m4/ax_pthread.m4" line 266ff to read as follows:
AC_CACHE_CHECK([for PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT], ax_cv_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT, [ AC_LINK_IFELSE( AC_LANG_PROGRAM([[#include <pthread.h>]], [[int i = PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT;]]), [ax_cv_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT=no], [ax_cv_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT=no]) ]) i.e., "ax_cv_PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT" gets set to "no" regardless of whether the test program compiles successfully (which it does on Alpha). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
