Package: binutils
Version: 2.16.1cvs20060117-1

Hi!

PostgreSQL works fine on mips and mipsel in Sarge, but in Sid it just
crashes with a Bus error (see build log [1], happens to all versions).
Upstream cannot reproduce it.  I asked about the issue on debian-mips
[2], and Jim Buttafuoco tracked this down to be a binutils regression
[3], since the very same code works fine with the Sarge binutils.

The bus error crash consistently happens with different compiler
versions (3.3, 3.4, 4.0), optimization settings, build options, etc. I
just cannot test different binutils versions, since I do not have
access to a mips machine.

Thanks,

Martin
