[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#828877: gridengine: FTBFS on mips64: unrecognized command line option ‘-m64’

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: gridengine
Version: 8.1.8+dfsg-7
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

The mips64 build of gridengine failed:

  cc -c -DSGE_ARCH_STRING=\"lx-mips64\" -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -DUSE_POLL -DLINUX -DLINUXMIPS64 -DLINUXMIPS64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DGETHOSTBYNAME_R6 -DGETHOSTBYADDR_R8  -DHAS_IN_PORT_T -m64 -DTARGET_64BIT -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -DSGE_PQS_API -DSPOOLING_dynamic -DSECURE -DHAVE_HWLOC=1 -DCOMPILE_DC -D__SGE_COMPILE_WITH_GETTEXT__  -D__SGE_NO_USERMAPPING__ -Wno-strict-prototypes -Wno-error  -DXMT_HAS_STRERROR -I../3rdparty/qmon/Xmt310 -I../3rdparty/qmon/Xbae -I../3rdparty/qmon/iconlist -I../3rdparty/qmon/ltree -I../3rdparty/qmon/outline -I../3rdparty/qmon/rowcol -I../3rdparty/qmon/spinbox -I../clients/qmon -I../3rdparty/qmon/tab -U_GNU_SOURCE   -DINCLUDEDIR=\"/usr/include\"   -DOBJSUFFIX=\".o\" ../include.c
  cc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-m64’

In general, GCC on Debian already targets the native architecture, so
-m32 and -m64 are necessary only when cross-compiling, and can be
harmful in other cases.

Could you please fix gridengine to stop using this flag?

Thanks!
