Hi all,
long story short, a couple years ago armel builds for valgrind were enabled
(despite the fact that valgrind only supports ARMv7) by building the package in
cross-compile mode and forcing the -march=armv7-a option on buildds that didn't
support ARMv7 natively. This was done so that ARMv7 armel systems could use
valgrind (see #592614).
This has sort of worked for a while, until a couple months ago when valgrind
started FTBFS on armel (#720409). This was a simple routine rebuild for the
openmpi transition, so I'm inclined to think that I did not broke anything
myself. My next upload 1:3.8.1-5 (a month later) still failed to build, making
me think that this is not a transient failure.
Hence the idea: what about dropping valgrind from armel? Or alternatively, is
there anyone who cares about valgrind on armel and wants to debug and try to
fix this (possibly without making the original kinda ugly hack any worse)?
Cheers
