Bug#565765: ruby1.9.1: FTBFS on sparc

[Lucas Nussbaum <lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net>]

Package: src:ruby1.9.1
Version: 1.9.1.378-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

ruby1.9.1 FTBFS on sparc with the following error:
> make[2]: Leaving directory
> `/build/buildd-ruby1.9.1_1.9.1.378-1-sparc-KMvrBv/ruby1.9.1-1.9.1.378'
> compiling bigdecimal
> Aborted
> make[1]: *** [mkmain.sh] Error 134
> make: *** [debian/stamp-makefile-build] Error 2
> dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

Also, we have #545345 (ruby1.9.1: test suite fails on sparc). For which
upstream said (in the redmine bug) that Sparc is no supported.

Sparc porters, could you help us investigate this?

This is extremely worrying, because we still need to transition all ruby
1.9.0 packages to 1.9.1 (so we can drop 1.9.0) before the squeeze
release. Not releasing ruby1.9.1 on sparc isn't really an option because
of all the reverse-dependencies.
