Bug#460106: ia64 guile woes

[Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>]

X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ia64@lists.debian.org
Package: guile-1.8
Version: 1.8.3+1-1

It's a one-liner to fix the compile failure in gc.c:

--- guile-1.8-1.8.3+1.orig/libguile/gc.c
+++ guile-1.8-1.8.3+1/libguile/gc.c
@@ -1058,7 +1058,7 @@
 void *
 scm_ia64_ar_bsp (const void *opaque)
 {
-  ucontext_t *ctx = opaque;
+  const ucontext_t *ctx = opaque;
   return (void *) ctx->uc_mcontext.sc_ar_bsp;
 }
 # endif        /* linux */

However, the test-suite then fails:

PASS: test-list
/bin/sh: line 4: 12524 Illegal instruction    "../../pre-inst-guile-env" ${dir}$tst
FAIL: test-unwind

I don't have time to dig into this further, but perhaps the above patch
could be integrated so the next person who wonders why they can't
install a bunch of guile stuff will find it's a harder problem.

a retrograde step."
