So to summarize, both you and I can build the package on kfreebsd machines (debian porter boxes and your box),but the buildds fail to build since 4.2.2-4+b2, whereas 4.2.2-4+b1 and 4.2.2-4 have built successfully. Note that in a binNMU the source code has not been changed. From this I conclude that the bug is not in the source, but only on the buildds, especially since other kfreebsd machines build the package fine, without any source changes. Since nobody from -bsd seems to be able to help
The problem seems be in src/gle/file_io.cpp:
#if defined(__UNIX__) && !defined(__MACOS__) && !defined(__FREEBSD__)
/* try to read location from the /proc/self/exe file */
char path[PATH_MAX];
struct stat stat_buf;
string path2 = "/proc/self/exe";
There is a "/proc/self/exe" support under GNU/kFreeBSD, but it is
limited, namely inside combination of bind mounts and chroots.
I bet that configuration of buildd have been changed in mean time.
In fact the /proc/self/exe file systems is linuxism.
Please try this:
