[Soc-coordination] Status Report of Improve Debian Port on Mips64el, Week 8

[Sphinx Jiang]

Hi, this week I worked on the packages last week failed, some were thought
caused by multi thread, some were wired. After some dependencies update,
the complicate to official buildlog disappeared. They could be resolved.

#746854 glob2
Due to build result, glob2 was thought failed just with the gcc-4.9
support. So it has been put in the tail of task queue. However changing
source code to avoid private class error, failled still with portaudio lib
problem, so I stuck for a while to try how to solve this problem by
changing scons and portaudio options.

#746854 gtkpod
This package could not reproduce the error in buildlog in my own machine,
with other error. After discussed with my mentor, I updated the related
dependencies to the newest. Then the same error reproduced. It failed with
some symbols problems, and if I follow the style, the package will fail as
soon as a new port joined. So I change it to the other style, new port will
pass with warnings.

#713203 g-wrap
The existing patch for amd64 is not clean enough, they demands a better
patch, so I choose to update the patch and  extends to mips64el.

#754728 globus-core
This package lack all mips compiler support,  so I add support with
mips/mipsel/mips64/mips64el.

The next week I will still work on the failed packages list for mips64el,
fix mips only bugs as first as I could. And test as many as more packages,
to reproduce the same failure in official buildlog. And catalog them.
