Source: gcc-4.8 Version: 4.8-20130127-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: debian-al...@lists.debian.org Usertags: alpha X-Debbugs-CC: debian-al...@lists.debian.org
gcc-4.8 in experimental FTBFS on alpha due to linker relocation overflow errors. Build log at: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gcc-4.8&arch=alpha&ver=4.8-20130127-1&stamp=1359353680 This is a known problem in the linker that affects builds of very large (typically C++) packages. The work around is to link with --no-relax. I would presume that the fix reported in bugs #681762 (same problem seen in gcc-4.5) and #682197 (same problem seen in gnat-4.6), namely adding to debian/rules2 the following ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_TARGET_ARCH), alpha)) LDFLAGS = -Wl,--no-relax endif should enable gcc-4.8 to build on Alpha.
