[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#888021: nodejs: should be compiled with FPXX ABI on 32-bit mips

[James Cowgill]

Package: nodejs
Version: 8.9.3~dfsg-9
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

As I wrote on debian-mips[1], the reason various node packages have been
failing on mipsel is because nodejs is using the fp32 ABI instead of the
fpxx ABI which gcc uses. This in turn triggers some bugs on the buildds.

Compiling nodejs with the fpxx should fix these build failures. I've
attached a patch which does this.

Thanks,
James
