[Bug 903398] [NEW] Please sync mksh (40.4-1) from Debian unstable into universe

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Thorsten Glaser (mirabilos):

The Ubuntu armel and armhf and the Debian armhf (funnily enough, not
armel) build of mksh 40.3-1 contain a fully broken /bin/mksh-static
binary, which was not caught by the regression testsuite due to not good
enough failback behaviour. It is now caught, and the Debian armhf 40.4-1
build lets the dietlibc mksh-static fail and falls back to using eglibc,
which produces a working (albeit somewhat huge) binary.

Please do the sync from Debian now, to supersede the broken versions
from the Ubuntu archive early.

Everything else will have to be done on the dietlibc side (i.e. reducing
testcases and investigating why ARM platforms starting from certain
compiler flags produce broken executables). The effect of this sync
(asides from pulling a new upstream bugfix release) is to recognise
these broken executables during build, fail them and fall back to
eglibc.

Thanks for your effort.
