Source: libgpg-error
Version: 1.26-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

This small patch adds support for the arm64ilp32 architecture.

(The Makeflie change is not actually necessary or helpful yet, but
clearly should be there as things stand).

It seems unnecessary that every new arch has to generate this new
file, which is intended to be done with a native build of
gen-posix-lock-obj. It is difficult to build and run such a native C
tool on a new arch you haven't bootstrapped yet (so in fact the
libgpg-error sysconf file has to be hand-generated). 

Trying to cross-build with the existing machinery generates a
gen-posix-lock-obj of the host architecture, not the build arch, which
would be fine if native-bootstrapping, but not for a new arch which
has to be crossed.

I will file another bug about fixing this so that we can arrange to
use headers directly, rather than all this jiggery-pokery, if at all
possible.
