Package: libqb
Version: 0.17.0-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Usertags: hppa

libqb fails to build on the hppa architecture, because the built-in testcases fail as can be seen here:
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libqb&arch=hppa&ver=0.17.0-2&stamp=1409458262

I did analyzed why they fail, and the reason is that on hppa we have somewhat more complicated requirements (e.g. alignments) which needs to be followed in order to mmap shared pages between processes. It's different than what can be done compared to ia64 and sparc.
The attached patch fixes libqb on the hppa architecture and with it all testcases finish successful.

It would be great if you could apply this patch (which should not affects other platforms) to the next upload.
By the way, I fixed a small typo in configure.ac too where arm platforms prints "ia64"...

Thanks,
Helge
