Hi! While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that your package "parasail" doesn't build reproducibly. In fact, it seems that depending on the type of CPU it builds on, sometimes there are slightly different files. For example, on an i386 system: - usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libparasail_novec_table.a - usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libparasail_sse41_rowcol.a - usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libparasail_avx2_table.a or in an amrhf system: - usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libparasail_novec.a - usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libparasail_novec_rowcol.a sometimes are there or not. I'll have to remember you that building differently depending on the CPU features of the build host is not allowed by Policy. Furthermore, I notice that amongst the i386 build, there are files such as - usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libparasail_sse2.a - usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libparasail_sse41.a that makes me wonder if the program is unconditially using SSE instructions on i386, that would be a baseline violation; but since I haven't verified if those features are used unconditially I'm not filing this report about this, however please do check.
