Bug#767291: blitz++: FTBFS on mips

[Dejan Latinovic]

Hello,


Maybe it is possible to blacklist blitz++ on cavium machines,
and try to build it on broadcom board (ball, swarm).

I had tested it locally.
On cavium board,
build fail with TERM signal.
If tests are ran manually, all tests pass,
but requires a lot of time.

Actually, the array test is the one that 
causes this failure.
All other tests executes significantly faster.
(1-10 min).

Duration of array test execution on cavium board is:
304m40.451s.


On broadcom board,
package builds successfully.
Duration of array test execution on broadcom board is:
12m50.570s.


Best Regards,
Dejna

I'm aware of this fact ind just contacted mips porters[1].  I had the
experience with several other packages that this is due to a not as
powerful enough build machine.  The build failure [2]

...
Running examples...
E: Caught signal ‘Terminated’: terminating immediately

could leat to the conclusion that this is the case here as well.  As I
explained in my mail to the mips porters[1] my personal solution to deal
with this would be to ask ftpmasters to remove the package for mips
architecture to enable a migration to testing.  I will wait until the
end of the weekend for any response to find a better solution before
I'll do this.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
