Bug#987566: ghostscript: PDF Interpreter error on armel

[Bernhard Übelacker <bernhardu@mailbox.org>]

Hello Guilhem, hello Jonas,
might this be a similar or the same issue as in #942055 ?

I took the example file from this issue,
created an armel buster chroot and ran it once at my arm5tel device,
and once at a armv7l cpu android device (unfortunately with
a non-debian kernel).

- with the arm5tel cpu I received the "Error reading" message.
- with the arm7l cpu no such failure and much more output was produced.

The same test with the arm5tel cpu with a bullseye chroot
seems also not affected.

Therefore my suspicion that gcc in buster produces instructions,
which do not work as expected at arm5tel, just at arm7l cpus.

Unfortunately I did never involve upstream with #942055,
to ask how ghostscript could be debugged, to identify
the related functions and prove this suspicion.

Kind regards,
Bernhard
