[debian-mysql] Bug#575246: mysql-proxy: Patch for FTBFS for 0.8.0 on Sparc

[James Bromberger]

Package: mysql-proxy
Version: 0.8.0
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Having looked at the testing migration for 0.8.0 I saw that this is being held up by a build error on Sparc. I lodged a bug report today against MySQL proxy and have had a patch sent back (see bug MySQL Bug #52327):


It appears that src/my_rdtsc.h is missing the typedef for ulong. That type is only used
with GCC for SPARC, so we've never hit this bug before (we use SunStudio for compiling on
Solaris, not sure we even have a build machine with Linux/SPARC).

Please try this patch:

I dont have time to compile this myself - can you test this and see if this is helps solve the build problem?


Thanks
