[Debichem-devel] Bug#838394: openbabel: FTBFS on mips, mips64el: internal compiler errors

[Niko Tyni]

Package: openbabel
Version: 2.3.2+dfsg-2.4
Severity: serious
Control: block 830200 with -1

This package failed to build on mips and mips64el.

- on mips:
"c++: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault (program cc1plus)"
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=openbabel&arch=mips&ver=2.3.2%2Bdfsg-2.4&stamp=1474379322

- on mips64el:
"openbabel-perl.cpp:17073:86: internal compiler error: in df_reg_chain_unlink, at df-scan.c:790"
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=openbabel&arch=mips64el&ver=2.3.2%2Bdfsg-2.4&stamp=1474385515

I'm running test builds on the porter boxes to see if these are
reproducible there and to gather data for gcc bug reports.

This blocks the Perl 5.24 transition so workarounds such as temporarily
building with an older compiler may be desirable.
