[Bug 934433] Re: [FFe] Multi-Arch version of elfutils wanted for Precise

[Evan Broder]

We're carrying a diff for a -Werror=uninitialized build problem. It
doesn't appear to have been fixed upstream. The upstream release carries
new features, so I'll go ahead and put together an upload with just the
multiarch fix.

Title:
  [FFe] Multi-Arch version of elfutils wanted for Precise

Status in “elfutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “elfutils” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  =======
  This is a feature freeze exception for elfutils in precise:
  =======

  The current elfutils (0.152-1ubuntu2) in precise does not have Multi-
  Arch support, so if the 32-bit lib is needed on a 64-bit system, it
  cannot be installed via libelf1:i386.

  This is necessary for some older 32-bit apps we'll need to run once
  precise is out that depend on the 32-bit version of libelf.so.1.

  This is also a blocker for cross-compiling kernel. As kernel is the
  most often cross-compiled piece of software, it would be rather
  important to get it working out-of-box in precise.

  Minimal patch to add multi-arch support attached in the first message. While this creates a divergence from Debian, there is nothing "special" in the patch that needs
  preserving once synchronizing with Debian next time. It can be simply replaced with the Debian package for precise + 1.
