Hi Adam,

Thanks for taking a look.

I'm not sure what the right protocol is in this case, to be honest.
Should I have issued two RFSes or done this one differently?

I'm very confused about the error on buildd because I have indeed
built the package many times with a fresh debootstrap without such a
segfault.  I will investigate and try to reproduce.

I did my best to avoid problems but it seems I have missed something,
I'd like to understand the difference between buildd and my own
configuration to avoid this happening in the future.

By the way Siconos due to its nature has been quite hard to get
working on any architecture other than amd64 unfortunately.  Is there
a way to mark the package as amd64-only?
In the meantime I try to find solutions for other architectures but it
is slow going.

Okay that sounds like a reasonable approach given this problem.
