Hi Ondřej!

Is there anything that speaks against applying Thorsten's patch to
fix the FTBFS of db5.3 on m68k?

If not, would you be so kind and apply his patch so that db5.3 is
also built on this particular Debian port? I'd also be happy to do
an NMU if necessary.

The m68k port has lots of fans in the retro-computing scene (Apple,
Atari and Amiga users) and we recently got some (small) funding from
Debian approved by our DPL Lucas Nussbaum to support our work.

I am fully aware of the fact that m68k machines are (currently) not
something what most people would use for production. However, the
port is now on a very good way and we have several people investing
some time to revive the port and our users appreciate it.

PS: Even Greg Kroah-Hartman likes the m68k port when I was asking him
   at LinuxTag and he said the code is there to stay in the kernel
   since the port helps finding compatibility regressions in the
   kernel which can also affect other, newer architectures.

Thanks a lot!

Adrian
