Ok. I'm not really keen on disabling the testsuite, but it seems necessary here. For the sparc issue, I don't see the need, so would rather not have this changed now; all the evidence says that this problem is fixed properly in the sarge kernels. > > > * Manually patch all `configure' files for libraries to use > > > deplibs_check_method=pass_all unconditionally for all linux architectures; > > > disable the autoreconf patch. > > > > > Reviewed by Ryan Murray, applied in the 3.3.6 package.

Known bad code generation is bad enough. Known bad code generation is a bug, but that doesn't make it an RC bug. We should be *more* conservative with toolchain updates during the freeze than we are with other packages, not less so; and wrong code generation that only occurs when using a build option that is against policy for most packages to use is not RC. The ICE here seems to be about software that's not in Debian, so it doesn't seem to be a FTBFS bug that affects us, either. So, if these bugs aren't going to cause problems for being able to rebuild packages in sarge, they should not be included in the upload to t-p-u. The hppa testsuite, the configure change for mips, and the update-alternatives changes you mentioned previously would all be good to have, so please go ahead and upload those fixes to t-p-u. If there's other evidence that one of the remaining fixes is RC, then go ahead and include it as well. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
