Bug#727829: FTBFS on mipsel
Package: kfreebsd-10
Version: 10.0~svn257123-1
Severity: grave
It seems kfreebsd-10 FTBFS on mipsel due to compiler issues (missing
-lgcc maybe?):
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=kfreebsd-10&arch=mipsel&ver=10.0~svn257123-1&stamp=1382831349
As compiler support for kernel is becoming increasingly troublesome
because of the gcc version divergence (upstream uses gcc-4.2 for mips,
not clang), unless somebody steps in I will disable mipsel support until
a simpler (i.e. requiring less manpower) solution is available (such as,
upstream moving mips toolchain to clang).
FTR, even former versions which built succesfully are not bootable under
QEMU/MALTA, unlike those built on FreeBSD (e.g. the one in
http://people.debian.org/~rmh/kfreebsd-mipsel/)
