Bug#599625: unblock: tcc/0.9.25-5
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: freeze-exception
Please unblock package tcc
tcc in squeeze is unable to link a program into an executable on amd64
when it uses string functions (strlen and co). As almost all C program
use string functions, I consider this bug serious. The version in
unstable contains a fix and it consists of just a few lines. The fix
was introduced in tcc 0.9.25-4 which stayed in unstable for almost 2
months without bringing any new bug. Version 0.9.25-5 is there only for
a few days but the only change is to drop armel architecture as tcc
doesn't build on armel because of a failure in the test suite.
Changes between version 0.9.25-3 are:
tcc (0.9.25-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Drop support for armel arch.
=> tcc has never built on armel
tcc (0.9.25-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix bashims in configure and gcctestsuite.sh.
=> This is a release goal.
* Add support for indirect functions as externals.
=> This is the few line fix.
* Bump Standard-Version from 3.8.4 to 3.9.1 (no changes needed).
* debian/control:
- Improve package description for libtcc-dev.
=> If this last change causes a problem with regards to the
translations I can make a new upload without the improved description
Best regards and good luck for the squeeze release.
