polyml 5.5.2-4

[James Clarke]

Hi Gianfranco,
Is there any way in which I could get access to an armel porter box to try and work out what’s causing the failure?

Thanks,
James

I have been trying to port it, and it no longer segfaults (thanks to the pexport-endian.diff patch from upstream), but one part of the build step (the compiler bootstrapping itself) exits with code 1, without printing anything. That’s on my list of things to talk to upstream about.

Previous uploads weren’t running the tests as part of the build, so I don’t know if this is a regression or not. armhf has built successfully though...
