Bug#752933: src:glibc: FTBFS on Alpha port due to failing tests
Package: src:glibc
Version: 2.19-4
Severity: normal
Hello!
After transitioning back from src:eglibc to src:glibc, building glibc from
source fails on the Alpha port due to some tests from the testsuite failing,
see the build log here [1].
I'm neither an expert regarding the C libary nor the Alpha architecture, but
we happened to have these at work back then and I successfully installed Debian
Lenny and earlier versions of Debian on Alpha without any issues, so the problem
is apparently a regression in the glibc sources.
>From the build log linked down below, it seems the following symbol mismatch is
mainly responsible for the failing build:
