I can't reproduce this problem using qemu to run a mips system on an amd64 system. So I really need some help to pin down the cause. The build continues to fail for mips and mipsel with newer upstream releases of ksh.
Judging from subtleties in the build logs, I think you have dash and not bash as /bin/sh on the build machines so I've repeated the build (under qemu) with that. It's not something else like busybox is it? Is there anything else slightly unusual in the build machine's setup which I might be able to replicate in qemu? The first differences in the build logs that I see are the following: /build/buildd-ksh_93t+20100301-1-mips-sjFIE0/ksh-93t+20100301/src/lib/libast/string/strerror.c: In function '_ast_strerror': /build/buildd-ksh_93t+20100301-1-mips-sjFIE0/ksh-93t+20100301/src/lib/libast/string/strerror.c:78: error: 'sys_nerr' undeclared (first use in this function) /build/buildd-ksh_93t+20100301-1-mips-sjFIE0/ksh-93t+20100301/src/lib/libast/string/strerror.c:78: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /build/buildd-ksh_93t+20100301-1-mips-sjFIE0/ksh-93t+20100301/src/lib/libast/string/strerror.c:78: error: for each function it appears in.) /build/buildd-ksh_93t+20100301-1-mips-sjFIE0/ksh-93t+20100301/src/lib/libast/string/strerror.c:79: error: 'sys_errlist' undeclared (first use in this function) mamake [lib/libast]: *** exit code 1 making strerror.o The preceding configure style checks have correct results. So any idea why these errors are occurring? Thank you Oliver Kiddle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
