[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#866185: rustc: FTBFS on ppc64el: SystemExit: -11

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: rustc
Version: 1.17.0+dfsg2-7
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

The latest ppc64el build of rustc failed:

  ./x.py build --config debian/config.toml -v
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/<<BUILDDIR>>/rustc-1.17.0+dfsg2/src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py", line 600, in main
      bootstrap()
    File "/<<BUILDDIR>>/rustc-1.17.0+dfsg2/src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py", line 585, in bootstrap
      rb.build_bootstrap()
    File "/<<BUILDDIR>>/rustc-1.17.0+dfsg2/src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py", line 375, in build_bootstrap
      self.run(args, env)
    File "/<<BUILDDIR>>/rustc-1.17.0+dfsg2/src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py", line 381, in run
      sys.exit(ret)
  SystemExit: -11
  Build completed unsuccessfully in 0:00:00
  debian/rules:143: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_build-arch' failed

I don't have any details beyond the remainder of
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=rustc&arch=ppc64el&ver=1.17.0%2Bdfsg2-7&stamp=1498044734&raw=0
but perhaps you can reproduce the problem on a porterbox.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
