Package: gcc-2.95 Version: 1:2.95.4-0.010703 Severity: normal It seems that s390 is listed in the rules.defs file to be excluded from using libgc:
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),$(findstring $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),avr hurd-i386 m68k mipsel mips s390)) But not in the control file: Build-Depends: dejagnu (>= 1.4), bzip2, binutils (>= 2.11.90.0.1-1), debhelper (>= 3.0.25), gperf (>= 2.7-3), autoconf2.13, bison, flex, gettext, texinfo, libgc5-dev [!avr !hurd-i386 !m68k], awk, libncurses-dev This prevents gcc's build dependencies from being met on s390. Note that a similar situation exists for mips and mipsel, but since libgc5-dev is available on those architectures, it doesn't matter as much. -- System Information Debian Release: unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux mizar 2.4.6 #1 Thu Jul 12 04:46:10 EDT 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US Versions of packages gcc-2.95 depends on: ii binutils 2.11.90.0.24-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpp-2.95 1:2.95.4-0.010703 The GNU C preprocessor. ii gcc 2:2.95.4-5 The GNU C compiler. ii libc6 2.2.3-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- - mdz
