Could be a toolchain or hardware error too, can you contact the ia64 people
about this ?

mldonkey has release-critical bugs
mldonkey is not yet built on arm: 2.5.27-1 vs 2.5.27-2
but :
2.5.27-1 (latest build at Aug 11 13:57: maybe-successful)
And need a new upload anyway. It seems stable for me though. Now, once alioth
is up again, i will do the upload.
Also, Steve Langasek has said to me yesterday (and on the d-o-m irc channel),
that ocaml 3.08 will probably forcibly enter sarge this WE, that means
removing from sarge everything that is not ready. And mldonkey is part of
that i think.
This is so that the tiff, ocaml, nautilus, and some other stuff can enter
testing.

Because it is pure bytecode. I build it on my box and upload it, but it runs
on _every_ arch.

Well, it seems that due to auto-builders catch up, the release will be delayed
anyway. I don't think this is going to be a problem.
