[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#989051: mrc: FTBFS on hppa - obj/mrc_rsrc.o created with wrong OS/ABI

[John David Anglin]

Source: mrc
Version: 1.2.3-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The build fails with the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
>> mrc.cpp
>> dummy.cpp
g++ -std=c++17 -o mrc-bootstrap obj/mrc.o obj/dummy.o -L/usr/lib/hppa-linux-gnu -lboost_program_options 
./mrc-bootstrap -o obj/mrc_rsrc.o mrsrc.h
g++ -std=c++17 -o mrc obj/mrc.o obj/mrc_rsrc.o -L/usr/lib/hppa-linux-gnu -lboost_program_options 
/usr/bin/ld: unknown architecture of input file `obj/mrc_rsrc.o' is incompatible with hppa1.1 output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [GNUmakefile:87: mrc] Error 1

As far as I can tell, this occurs because obj/mrc_rsrc.o is created with the
wrong OS/ABI:

dave at mx3210:~/debian/mrc/mrc-1.2.3$ file obj/mrc_rsrc.o
obj/mrc_rsrc.o: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, PA-RISC, 1.1 version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

SYSV should be GNU/Linux:

dave at mx3210:~/debian/mrc/mrc-1.2.3$ file obj/mrc.o
obj/mrc.o: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, PA-RISC, 1.1 version 1 (GNU/Linux), with debug_info, not stripped

Not sure why this happens.

Regards,
Dave Anglin
