Hi look,
unfortunately the Cc to you was dropped quite early, but we have a bit
more info now. See the thread at [1].
Executive summary: we (Julien) tried to build on arm using gcc 4.2 (on
agnesi.d.o IIRC) and it worked properly. So, our proposal is to choose
among:
1) go ahead with the current ocaml and manually do a binary upload of it
on arm using gcc 4.2 (pro: no source package upload needed, cons: non
naively buildable from source ocaml package on arm; the only
justification for that would be that arm support is transitional,
it's successor is armel, on which the build was fine)
2) do another sourceful upload of ocaml with arch-specific build dep on
gcc 4.2 for arm, and some debian/rules magic to enforce building
against gcc 4.2 on arm only
What do you prefer/suggest?
Cheers.
