[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#650549: libv8: FTBS on mipsel: no rule to make target mips.release

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: libv8
Version: 3.5.10.24-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Builds of libv8 on mipsel are now failing due to what appears to be a
gap in upstream's build system:

  /usr/bin/make  -C . CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall" CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security -Wall" CPPFLAGS="" LDFLAGS="" -j2 library=shared soname_version=3.5.10.24 OS=linux V=1 mips.release
  make[1]: *** No rule to make target `mips.release'.  Stop.
  make[1]: Entering directory `/.../libv8-3.5.10.24'
  make[1]: Leaving  directory `/.../libv8-3.5.10.24'
  make: *** [debian/stamp-makefile-build] Error 2

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
