I see...
By the way, has there been an progress with tomsfastmath?

I think we should, because LFS support has been a release goal since wheezy.

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean here.
Simply adding '-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in debian/rules
should be enough, or is there more to do?

Definitely. ;)

About the valgrind tests for clamav: they seem to fail randomly on some architectures.
I tried to reproduce the amd64 failure locally, but when building with cowbuilder in
a sid/amd64 chroot, check5 and check6 failed with an invalid free crash.
However, when building with sbuild in a sid/amd64 schroot, both tests pass...

Thus it seems to me that these valgrind tests are just too flaky to be useful.

Best regards,
Andreas
