[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#842709: libuv: FTBFS on ppc64el: Test suite failure

[Fernando Seiti Furusato]

Source: libuv
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The package libuv is failing to build from source on ppc64el, because
it is not passing on the test suite.

As you might see in the build log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libuv&arch=ppc64el&ver=0.10.36-4&stamp=1477310619

It failed on condvar_5, but when I tried to build it with sbuild, it
sometimes fails on spawn_setuid_setgid:

[%  75|+ 147|-   0|T   0|S   1]: spawn_setuid_setgid
`spawn_setuid_setgid` failed: exit code 6

And sometimes it builds through to the end.
I could not determine the actual cause of the error.
Could you please verify?

Thanks!
