My packages (listed below) are the only users of libquantlib. In the past (as
I've maintained this for a decade) I simply use 'libquantlib' but I was told
that versionsed libraries would be "better". I am not convinced that that is
the case...

As can be seen on https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=quantlib-swig
both builds simply die of resource starvation. There is /a lot/ of C++ here
in a single large Swig generated file, and it needs sufficient memory to
compile.

Someone needs to schedule this with sufficient build resources. We had this
issue before on other arches.

That failure (which is echoed on a lot of other r-cran-* packages) is a
complete mystery to me, and to upstream.

The build process is /highly/ automated at the R side too, and works on
hundreds of other source packages across a dozen other arches.

As can be seen on https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=rquantlib
two variables simply do not expand.  

But I do not know why it fails here, and I have no suggestion.
