package: prctl
severity: serious
version: 1.6-1

Hi,

The buildd 'Packages-arch-specific' configuration has this line for prct:

%prctl: hppa ia64 alpha powerpc                                       # ANAIS 
based on syscall availability

https://buildd.debian.org/quinn-diff/sid/Packages-arch-specific

As can be seen from the buildd page, this means that it will never be built
for any release architecture:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=prctl

However, prctl has a binary on am64. Either the Packages-arch-specific is
wrong, or the package is unusable there and should be removed.

If it doens't have a working binary on any release architecture, it shouldn't
be in a release.

Thanks,

Ivo
