OK. Punit (and I) prepared an updated package with the above fixes, and htmake/htconfig dropped, so it's now pretty much a vanilla upstream package. Git repo is here: https://github.com/punitagrawal/global I've done a 5-day delayed NMU to experimental of 6.5.5-0.2. I'll put some more details in #816924 This is essentially a candidate for unstable/stretch, should 'putting v6 in unstable or stretch' be agreed-upon. So anyone who cares should check it out and file bugs. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
