Bug#574717: mingw32-ocaml: Supported arches
Package: mingw32-ocaml
Version: 3.11.2+debian4
Hi,
It seems you currently restrict the arch list to:
i386 amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386
Is there a reason for this? Both mingw32 and ocaml seem to be
supported on all arches (except for mingw32 on hurd-i386).
I also don't get why you need to build-depend on gcc-multilib.
You have this in your rules file:
# Note that we must build a 32 bit compiler, even on 64 bit build
# architectures, because this compiler will try to do strength
# reduction optimizations using its internal int type, and that must
# match Windows' int type. (That's what -cc and -host are for).
But the size of an int doesn't change for 32 and 64 targets. Only the size
of a long and a pointer do.
The description even says:
This compiler runs quickly,
generates compact code with moderate memory requirements, and is
portable to essentially any 32 or 64 bit Unix platform.
I currently see no reason not to set the arch list to any.
Kurt
