gcc/binutils related build failure on mips/mipsel - help needed

[Oleksandr Moskalenko <malex@debian.org>]

Hi,

I really need help figuring out build failures on mips and mipsel of my
package "scribus". The following build logs

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=scribus&ver=1.3.3.9.dfsg%2B20070716svn-1&arch=mips&stamp=1184647802&file=log

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=scribus&ver=1.3.3.9.dfsg%2B20070716svn-1&arch=mipsel&stamp=1184630047&file=log

It could be helpful to know that a previous scribus upload failed on arm, but
the latest one referenced above does not. People who looked at these logs seem
to believe that there is a problem with gcc/binutils on mips/mipsel.

The errors point to an assembler problem:

Mips:
/tmp/ccdvOQah.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccdvOQah.s:306415: Error: Branch out of range
/tmp/ccdvOQah.s:306423: Error: Branch out of range
/tmp/ccdvOQah.s:306434: Error: Branch out of range
make[3]: *** [scribus/CMakeFiles/scribus.dir/fileloader.o] Error 1

Mipsel:
/tmp/cc3YMBA2.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc3YMBA2.s:306371: Error: Branch out of range
/tmp/cc3YMBA2.s:306379: Error: Branch out of range
/tmp/cc3YMBA2.s:306390: Error: Branch out of range
make[3]: *** [scribus/CMakeFiles/scribus.dir/fileloader.o] Error 1

There does not seem to be enough information in those build logs at the
moment, so if someone with access to mips/mipsel could trace a build that'd be
great.

Thanks,

Alex.


P.S.: This is my second plea for help. I suppose if I don't get any replies to
this one as well my only choice will be to change the package to not build on
mips/mipsel and forget about those architectures altogether.
