Bug#733291: gcc-4.8: please default to -mieee on Alpha

["Michael Cree" <mcree@orcon.net.nz>]

Source: gcc-4.8
Version: 4.8.2-10
Severity: important
Justification: floating point exceptions observed in packages built with
gcc-4.8
User: debian-alpha@lists.debian.org
Usertags: alpha

Please default the gcc-4.8 compiler suite to have the option -mieee turned
on on Alpha.  This was the default for previous gcc versions and many
Debian package sources assume this default.  The patch alpha-ieee.diff
already exists in the debian/patches directory of gcc-4.8 but is not
included on Alpha.  Pls. run "quilt refresh" on the patch and update
rules.patch with:

diff -urp gcc-4.8-4.8.2/debian/rules.patch
gcc-4.8-4.8.2-new/debian/rules.patch
--- gcc-4.8-4.8.2/debian/rules.patch	2013-12-27 19:48:40.000000000 +1300
+++ gcc-4.8-4.8.2-new/debian/rules.patch	2013-12-27 19:42:07.978614726 +1300
@@ -184,6 +184,7 @@ else
 endif

 ifeq ($(DEB_TARGET_ARCH),alpha)
+  debian_patches += alpha-ieee
   ifneq ($(GFDL_INVARIANT_FREE),yes)
     debian_patches += alpha-ieee-doc
   endif

Thanks
Michael.
