Bug#995679: exim4: FTBFS on sparc64 due to bad alignment (Bus Error)

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Source: exim4
Version: 4.95-1
Severity: normal
User: debian-sparc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: sparc64

Hello!

The testsuite fails on sparc64 with a Bus Error which indicates improper
alignment [1]:

Debian-exim user found, running minimal testsuite
========================================
running minimal functionality test for binary b-exim4-daemon-heavy/build-Linux-sparc64/exim in directory /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/test
Bus error
testsuite error

I have not debugged this issue yet but usually these are trivial to fix.

Since the sparc64 porterbox kyoto is currently looking for a new hosting
location, it's offline. In the mean time, the sparc64 porterboxes from
the GCC compile farm can be used for debugging the issue [2].

Thanks,
Adrian
