Bug#588118: libmoose-perl [ia64]: test failures

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: libmoose-perl
Version: 1.06-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

The tests for libmoose-perl fail on ia64 since version 1.06.  At first
glance none of the changes looks likely to have introduced this
regression:

The only change in 1.06 was a new feature:

  [NEW FEATURES]
  * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we
    can more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose
    type constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.

Which was accomplished by these changes:

         return 1 if $self->hand_optimized_type_constraint == $other->hand_optimized_type_constraint;

Also a new test was introduced.

There are no changes to the XS code, even the version of Class::MOP (1.02) is
the same version use to build Moose 1.05 where the tests passed.  The tests
also passed on all other architectures.

I don't have access to a ia64 host so I cannot really investigate this problem
myself.  One of the many reasons I look forward to finally finish waiting for
NM to proceed someday :-/
