Qt6 fails to build on m68k

[Aurélien COUDERC]

Dear m68k porters,

we have Qt6 failing to build on m68k.
This is kind of good news because it means it is being built. 🙂
It was not the case for Qt5 that had a build dep on firebird, missing on m68k and making in not buildable.

So now we have it building and failing to build. The build failure message [1] made me think of previous discussion where IIRC you explained that the m68k architecture is the only one with a memory alignment of 2 bytes / 16 bit.

Like most teams we try to avoid carying too many downstream patches but it would be cool to have Qt built on all archs. So if a maintainable patch can make m68k build we (=Patrick) would be willing to have it in Debian.

Thanks for your help !
