[Bug 2083243] [NEW] [FFe] gsasl: FTBFS on s390x in oracular

[Simon Josefsson]

Thanks for the report. A 150+ minute link time for a small test C
program most certainly indicate a linker bug - did you open a bug report
about that?  Sounds like an infinite loop somewhere, worth investigating
separately.

Title:
  [FFe] gsasl: FTBFS on s390x in oracular

Status in gsasl package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  During a test rebuild, Graham found out that gsasl FTBFS on s390x on
  Oracular.

  The rebuild report is at https://people.canonical.com/~ginggs/ftbfs-
  report/test-rebuild-20240912-oracular-oracular.html (it may update).

  The issue is that one of the build steps never finishes (at least not
  within 150 minutes).

  The relevant failure is shown (edited) below:

      libtool: link: gcc [...] -o test-parser test_parser-test-parser.o ./.libs/libgsasl-digest_md5.a ../gl/.libs/liblgl.a
      E: Build killed with signal TERM after 150 minutes of inactivity

  An example of a failed build is at
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-
  rebuild-20240912-oracular/+build/28965803

  I've tried disabling LTO and reducing parallelism but of these two,
  only disabling LTO helped. I don't think it is a big concern for this
  package which doesn't do a lot of heavy computations itself. This will
  be the only delta from Debian so we'll certainly revisit the issue.
