Bug#879589: mozjs52 FTBFS on alpha; misdetected arch bitsize, etc.

[Michael Cree]

Source: mozjs52
Version: 52.3.1-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: debian-alpha at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftbfs

mozjs52 FTBFS on alpha because there is a conflict in determining the
arch bitsize [1], and later on in the build an attempt to load libc.so.6
which does not exist in Alpha Linux.

I attach two patches: one to fix the misdetected bitsize and disable the
tests that are problematic on 64-bit arches (as is done on other 64-bit
arches) and the other to load libc.so.6.1 rather than libc.so.6 when
compiling on Alpha Linux.

With these mozjs52 builds to completion on Alpha.

Cheers
Michael
