Bug#710439: pixman fails testsuite on powerpc due to glibc
Package: eglibc
Version: 2.13-38
When I try to build pixman (0.26.0-4) in my powerpc wheezy chroot,
the testsuite fails.
The failure usually looks like:
*** glibc detected *** /tmp/pixman-0.26.0/build/test/.libs/lt-scaling-test: corrupted double-linked list: 0x10068e80 ***

If I install libc6 and libc6-dev 2.17-3, the problem goes away and all
tests pass. Hence why I am assigning blame to glibc for this.
Of course this makes me rather concerned about the glibc in wheezy for
use on powerpc.
Any idea what could be broken in 2.13 and how to fix it, since I would
prefer to stick with stable. A patch to 2.13 would seem rather preferable
for wheezy than having to start mixing in other bits, especially glibc.
I am building on an IBM p710 with 6 cores, so lots of parallelism is
certainly possible and likely, which may help to trigger bugs like this.
I would think this qualifies as a severity for FTBFS, even though it
isn't glibc that is failing to build, but it is causing other things to
fail to build.
