Hi, Lucas:

If I understand the upstream source correctly, TSX support is not
enabled unless --enable-rtm is explicitly passed to the configure
script, which we don't do for the Debian build. According to your build
log, RTM is disabled:

               RTM = CK_MD_RTM_DISABLE

So I'm confused as to how TSX support in the build system's CPU could be
the cause. I think your FTBFS might actually be due to #764827 ("ck:
upper bound on cores being used in tests"). It looks like building on
systems with a high number of cores can cause the test suite to take an
unreasonable amount of time, so I've uploaded 0.5.2-2 which limits the
number of cores used to a small value.

Could you retry your build with ck >= 0.5.2-2 once it hits the archive?

Thanks!
