[cc:ed to the hppa porters individually, as well as to debian-hppa; please let me know if you prefer to get such mail just via the list in the future.] Are the hppa porters aware of bug #342545 in libgcc2, which is affecting builds of most Qt-related packages on hppa today? I had suggested to LaMont that this was a result of the buildd being configured to throw SIGBUS instead of silently doing alignment fixups, but I see that this bug is actually an illegal instruction, *not* a SIGBUS, so this is presumably not as easy to fix as just throwing a kernel switch. This is currently the single largest blocker for KDE completing the c2a ABI transition, and large numbers of missing hppa builds are being ignored in the analysis right now because it's the only way to see what other real package bugs are outstanding. Aurelien has done some good work on pinning down the location of the problem, but an hppa porter is going to need to look at this to tell us what the proper fix is. If this bug isn't fixed by the time the rest of the KDE hint is ready to go in, we'll probably push it in leaving the packages out of date (and possibly uninstallable) for hppa. At that point we would also have to reconsider hppa's status as a release port, so hopefully someone will have a chance to look at this soon.
