diglib build failure on IBM s390x and ppc64

[hamish]

Hi,

there was an error building the 6.4.3 Debian package on the IBM s390x platform. Was a similar error seen in trunk during the recent AIX fixes?

It happens in the lib/vector/diglib/ make test.

or was the build system just out of RAM? It was happening in 6.4.1 too, see ​http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=672719

the build fails in the same place on ppc64:

It seems that r47992 needs to be backported (see also #1430).

Alpha seems to have problems with function pointers in shared libraries. This may just be an issue with the linker flags for shared libraries (it probably doesn't help that Shlib.make expects the variable to be called SHLIB_LDFLAGS when 6.x's Platform.make uses SHLIB_LD_FLAGS).

PPC dies running the external data format test program. No real idea why. "Killed" normally means it received SIGKILL, which can happen due to resource limits being exceeded, or for various other reasons (SIGKILL can't be caught, so it's used whenever the intention is to terminate a process rather than to merely notify it of something).

reopened for alpha
