Package: gtk+2.0 Version: 2.6.2-2 Severity: serious gtk+2.0 2.6.2 consistently fails to build from source on mips with the following error:

It is likely that this failure is related to limitations on symbol table sizes on mips and mipsel. While there are workarounds possible for libraries that exceed the symbol table size limit, there is no such workaround presently available for executables that hit the limit, which appears to be what's happening here given that the failure comes while statically linking a test binary. Since other test binaries are linked successfully during the build prior to the failure, it's clear that the gtk+ library is not entirely broken, though it is likely that a large number of applications would not be able to use it for static linking. This is of course not the norm in Debian, so I would recommend disabling this particular test suite (selectively on mips+mipsel if you can, or on all architectures if you can't).
