m4 FTBFS on ia64

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Hello.

This is what happens when trying to build m4:

Checking ./stackovf.test
Stack soft limit set to 300K
Killed
Killed
Failure - m4 aborted unexpectedly
Output from m4:
Killed
Killed

Skipped checks were:
  ./125.changeword ./126.changeword ./127.changeword ./128.changeword ./129.changeword ./130.changeword
Failed checks were:
  ./stackovf.test
make[3]: *** [check] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd-m4_1.4.14-2-ia64-3q6txL/m4-1.4.14/checks'
make[2]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make: *** [build] Error 2

Could this be a kernel bug?

caballero built 1.4.14-1 successfully when it had 2.6.31.6-dsa-mckinley
caballero failed to build 1.4.14-2 and it had 2.6.32-bpo.2-mckinley
merulo fails to build 1.4.14-2 and it has 2.6.32.7-dsa-ia64-mckinley
it also fails on merulo on the stable chroot

If there is something I should do on my side, please tell me.

Thanks.
