Bug#294287: Add test for arch-specific defines in arch all /usr/include/*.h files
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.8
Severity: wishlist
See #294257, the arch:all package apache2-threaded-dev had a #define
WORDS_BIGENDIAN in one of its .h files, which is of course going to fuck
up a lot. Same for defining stuff like SIZEOF_LONG 4, or other
arch-specific features detected by autoconf. Somehow a list of those
would be useful to be able to detect it all, and also, one should then
detect /* #undef WORDS_BIGENDIAN */ too, for builds on non-bigendian
machines etc.
Thanks to Adam Conrad for managing to break mono with this :-P, and
afterwards helping me giving the right idea for a lintian test.
