• Bug#878817: luajit: Please drop mips64el again

    From Adrian Bunk@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 16 22:30:02 2017
    XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist

    Source: luajit
    Version: 2.1.0~beta3+dfsg-5
    Severity: serious
    Control: affects -1 src:neovim src:knot-resolver

    neovim and knot-resolver FTBFS with luajit 2.1.0~beta3+dfsg-5: https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=neovim&arch=mips64el https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=knot-resolver&arch=mips64el

    knot-resolver FTBFS on the buildd, but builds for me on eller.

    21:10 < jcowgill> bunk: not sure, but i notice both failed on loongsons
    21:10 < jcowgill> gcc has a few workarounds disabling some instructions since loongson doesn't quite implement the mips isa properly
    21:14 < bunk> jcowgill: that sounds like possibly related to a jit failing on this hw

    Instead of shipping code that is strongly suspected to be nonworking
    on part of the supported hardware of mips64el, it is IMHO better to
    disable luajit on mips64el again.
