forcemerge 478717 491930
thanks

Hi,

I'm merging #478717 and #491930, since they are about the same issue
(ruby1.9's recent versions not being available on hppa).

I did some tests. The last upstream revision of ruby1.9 that I could
successfully compile was rev 11437 (Sun Dec 31 07:24:56 2006 +0000).
This was just before the merge of YARV, so YARV is a good suspect.
Unfortunately, the YARV merge was done all at once, so it's not possible
to bissect it.

Open questions:
- is there a later version that is buildable on Debian? That would be
  great, because if would exclude a bug in the big YARV merge. The first
  "bad" version I could find (with the failure that is reported in this
  bug) is rev 12544 (Fri Jun 15 03:27:33 2007 +0000). This is confirmed
  by http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=hppa&pkg=ruby1.9

- 1.9.0.0-2 was built and uploaded, but the log is not available on
  buildd.d.o, so it was probably a manual upload. The .changes is signed
  by LaMont Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and the package works fine
  according to some basic tests. Lamont, do you remember how you
  managed to build that package? Did you use an old system/kernel?

Thank you,
