Re: texlive-bin: FTBFS on powerpc & sparc64

Hi Hilmar!

Please always CC the arch-specific mailing lists when filing arch-specific
bugs.

Looking at the issue, it seems that texlive-bin has issues when built with
many jobs in parallel. On both powerpc and sparc64, the package was built
with "make -j32" [1, 2]. Both kapitsa and landau are systems with many
virtual CPUs (both are VMs on POWER and SPARC servers) something that
is still unusual on x86_64.

I recommend forwarding this issue upstream and limiting the parallel jobs
for texlive-bin to 16 or even 8.

Adrian
