ruby fails sanity tests on ia64
Package: ruby
Version: 1.6.4-2
Severity: serious
With config.sub changes, ruby builds ok on ia64, but fails the package
building process from a failed test. tail of build log follows:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=build-tree/ruby-1.6.4 make -C build-tree/ruby-1.6.4 test
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tausq/build/ruby-1.6.4/build-tree/ruby-1.6.4'
/home/tausq/build/ruby-1.6.4/build-tree/ruby-1.6.4/sample/test.rb:951:
[BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.6.4 (2001-06-04) [ia64-linux-gnu]
test failed
make[1]: *** [test] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tausq/build/ruby-1.6.4/build-tree/ruby-1.6.4'
make: *** [debian/stampdir/build] Error 2
Initial debugging suggests that there seems to be some memory corruption
going on. Matthew Wilcox (willy@debian.org) suggested that it may be
because of incorrect stack assumptions in the ruby gc code, but we are
really just guessing....
