[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#749367: htslib: Is a solution available?

Hi,
Has anyone tested the patch that was applied upstream [1] regarding this
issue? I'm asking because the corresponding upstream ticket is still
open and the commit message on the patch describes it as a "partial fix".

I am not particularly interested in mips/mipsel, but this build failure
is preventing testing migration (and therefore backporting) of samtools
and several other dependencies because they are BD-uninstallable for
these architectures.

If someone can confirm that the patch I referenced works, I am willing
to backport it to the current htslib package to unblock the testing
migrations.

If this is still a problem, the patch tag here should be removed and I
will try to negotiate with the stable-backports team to allow rebuilding
these packages (htslib, samtools, python-pysam, ...) on jessie despite
their not having entered testing.

Thanks and regards
Afif
