Subject: [amd64] missing 32-bit libgcc.a

Date: Sat, 05 May 2007 00:12:02 +0200

Package: gcc-4.1
Version: 4.1.2-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated packages

gcc-4.1 4.1.1-21 had this file:

  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.2/32/libgcc.a

which gcc-4.1 4.1.2-5 no longer provides.  This breaks build of every package
building biarch 32-bit stuff that relies on libgcc.

I tested a few of them and found that at least the following packages no
longer build:

  grub2
  alsa-lib
  bzip2
  ncurses
  readline5
  zlib

-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0

Argh, sorry.  As Aurelien just pointed out, gcc-multilib has the missing files.

To make it backport-friendly, I suggest to use the following in each of the
affected packages:

  gcc-multilib [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 ppc64] | gcc-4.1 (<< 4.1.2) [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 ppc64]

The correct list of architectures is actually: 

amd64 i386 kfreebsd-amd64 powerpc ppc64 s390 sparc

see the changelog, split out into gcc-multilib to avoid dangling symlinks.

please file bug reports / patches for those packages. these should
depend on gcc-multilib [amd64 i386 powerpc ppc64 sparc s390]

Just to confirm, is this supposed to be added to the build dependencies
of packages needing cross build support?  I'd been assuming that this
was a toolchain bug due to lack of an announcement.

I'm told that this is indeed the case so I've uploaded a fixed zlib.  It
would be useful if affected package maintainers could be notified of
changes like this in a more coordinated fashion.
