Re: Wanted: sparc64 porterbox



Greetings, and thanks so much for your feedback!  I'm just trying to
reproduce and debug the FTBFS failure in sparc64 at debian-ports, on
machine 'sompek'.  A sid chroot somewhere is fine.

http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gcl&arch=sparc64&ver=2.6.10-44&stamp=1407634967

Take care,
