[Bug 849167] Re: Sync tcc 0.9.25-10 from Debian sid main

[Thomas Preud'homme]

It fails to build on armel, nothing else. And that's expected, only the
new upstream version (which the version in experimental is) can solve
this problem. That's why I propose to forget about the changes in Ubuntu
(namely adding armel in the Architecture list) and just sync from
Debian.

Title:
  Sync tcc 0.9.25-10 from Debian sid main

Status in “tcc” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Greetings,

  tcc in Debian contains a fix for LP #820983. This bug is pretty nasty
  as it means binaries generated by tcc can only execute on Debian and
  Ubuntu multiarchified systems. The Debian version only fixes this bug.
  The changelog is:

  tcc (0.9.25-10) unstable; urgency=medium

    * Stop wrongly using multiarch dynamic loader as elf interpreter, eg. back
      to use /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 for amd64 (Closes: #636541).

  Note that current Ubuntu package contains some changes to enable armel
  build but as it doesn't work (LP #823716). I believe a merge is not
  needed. Indeed, only the new upstream release really fix the problem,
  as noted in the launchpad bug report.

  The wiki suggest to provide a "build log of the Debian package
  compiled in the Ubuntu release as proof that the new Debian version
  still compiles in Ubuntu" but I didn't find information on how to
  create an Ubuntu chroot on Debian and the informations about PPA says
  it's not possible to upload a non-modified package.
