[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#870396: Bug#870396: alsa-lib: fix SIGSEGV on x32 (and a minor typo in the testsuite)

[Thorsten Glaser]

Hi,

>As I can't evaluate the impact to our officially  supported arch's I

The impact of 0011-distinguish-x32-from-amd64.patch on any other
architecture is absolutely zero, and that’s what fixes x32, so…

>and wait till they be pushed.

… I’d prefer it very much if you can merge at least that one.

The other things are one minor bugfix and a bugfix for an issue
that occurs on x32, arm64ilp32, and other architectures, while
not breaking on others (as any C programmer can see). Since it
only makes debugging output useless it’s probably good enough
to wait with them, if you must.

>would prefer to first submit your patches upstream

By all means, do that anyway.

Thanks,
