[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1130963: ftbfs on hppa: libboost_program_options.so.1.90.0 (64 bit, need 32)

[John David Anglin]

Some other 1.90.0 boost packages have the same issue and this breaks a number of other
package builds on hppa.

The issue is boost was built on a 64-bit capable hppa system (hppa64) but currently
hppa only supports 32-bit runtime.  I don't know anything about configuring boost
but I think it needs to be configured to 32-bit mode on hppa.
