Package: v-sim
Version: 3.5.0-1

Hi,

I am now trying to run Debian on Renesas SH(sh4) CPU.
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/architecture.php?a=sh4

v-sim can not build on sh4. Because configure of this package generated
from old autoconf.

checking for dummy main to link with Fortran libraries... unknown
See `config.log' for more details.

Old autoconf adds -little option to compile option. Some CPU architecture can't
interpret this option. Therefore, this has build error.

We need patch revising this.
I added patch to revising these. Package building was fine.
Please apply  patche.

Best regards,
 Nobuhiro
