Greetings! On second thought, I think my previous message was a bit
unclear.
OK, blas-1.1, which does integrity checks now as part of the build,
has built everywhere expect for hppa for some time. Coincidentally to
your note, I traced this down *last night* to a bug in the loader on
hppa which messes up the link ordering of dynamic objects. I
implemented a simple temporary work-around, and released -8, which now
compiles everywhere except arm, where g77 now dies with a catastrophic
internal failure.
The hppa bug listed in this report was worked around by *increasing*
the optimization -- the issue only shows up with -g on hppa.
So here is a summary of problems:
hppa g77 -g bug as listed in #137959 could have been there
forever as far as I know,
as the package was never
compiled with just -g before
hppa g77 -O tester failure known problem with the
(and dynamic loader, also not
higher) necessarily new.
arm g77 compiler failure new to -8, must be due to a
(default compiler upgrade on this arch
optimizations)
