| Hi,
| 
| elmerfem is FTBFS on arm* again because of recent changes in r-base.
| 
| After small investigation [0] I found that elmerfem:
| * was built successfully with r-base-core: 2.15.1-4, 2.15.1-5
| * was FTBFS with r-base-core: 2.15.1-2, 2.15.3~20130327-1, 2.15.3-1
| 
| After reading change log [1] and bug report #679180 I think that this change

|    * src/library/tools/R/install.R: Pass "perl = TRUE" parameter to sub()
|      function when defining SHLIB_* macros to work-around an erroneus
|      string replacement which causes build failures on arm* architectures
|      but make the change conditonal on actually being on arm*.

No, not really.  It is an arm-specific failure that does not happen anywhere
else. 

I think this is a side-effect of #695411.  CCing Johannes who worked on this.

Is there a willing and able ARM* porter within Debian who can help?
