Hi m4 and sh4 folks--
Debian's GnuPG package (version 2.2.3-1) is failing to build on the sh4
architecture, as seen here:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gnupg2&arch=sh4&ver=2.2.3-1&stamp=1512098830&raw=0
the error log looks like:
------------
Copying file po/Makefile.in.in
Copying file po/Makevars.template
qemu: Unsupported syscall: -1
m4: ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c:366: __spawnix: Assertion `ec >= 0'
failed.
/usr/bin/m4: internal error detected; please report this bug to
<bug-m4@gnu.org>: Aborted
-----------
So, i'm reporting it here.
Not sure what to make of it, or how to try to resolve it.
It sounds like you aren't on a bare-metal sh4 machine, but rather that
you are on a VM, and that your VM has tripped up on a qemu emulation
bug. As such, the fix to your problem is to get the qemu folks to
figure out why sh4 isn't being emulated correctly, and is not really
something that m4 is at fault for (other than m4 managed to trigger the
non-emulated syscall).
