Package: gcc-3.3 Version: 3.3.5-5 Severity: serious I can reproduce the problem also with 3.3.5-3 on merulo.
The dietlibc compiler wrapper automatically adds -fno-omit-frame-pointer to CFLAGS on ia64 which causes multiple packages to fail to build with current gcc on sid, e.g. bglibs, runit, and the cvm package: gcc -include /usr/lib/diet/include/dietref.h -Wall -I. -I/usr/lib/diet/bglibs/include -o qmail-users.o -c qmail-users.c -isystem /usr/lib/diet/include -D__dietlibc__ -Os -fno-omit-frame-pointer /tmp/cc6Fua7S.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cc6Fua7S.s:793: Error: Epilogue count of 4294967296 exceeds number of nested prologues (0) /tmp/cc6Fua7S.s:807: Error: Epilogue count of 4294967296 exceeds number of nested prologues (0) /tmp/cc6Fua7S.s:812: Error: Epilogue count of 4294967296 exceeds number of nested prologues (0) Please see http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=cvm&ver=0.31-2&arch=ia64&stamp=1103707875&file=log&as=raw Version 3.3.5-2 seems to be fine http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=cvm&ver=0.20-1&arch=ia64&stamp=1099679674&file=log&as=raw I could work around this by omitting -fno-omit-frame-pointer in dietlibc's compiler wrapper, but probably there're other packages not using dietlibc but -fno-omit-frame-pointer in CFLAGS nevertheless. It may well be that they also fail to build on current sid. I found this in upstream's bts, hope that helps http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18987 Regards, Gerrit.
