Bug#725743: procps 1:3.3.8-2 FTBFS on ia64 and s390x

[Craig Small]

I've built procps 3.3.8-2 from sid successfully on a wheezy s390x system
(unpacking orig source + patch and then running debuild)

Thanks. I was kind of suspecting that would happen but was hoping it
would show up something obvious and really easy to fix.

I've got the other two parts sorted so might just see if that was some
sort of strange one-off.

I've got most of these problems sorted out for the s390 (and the
ia64 but you probably don't care about that).
I'm stuck at with one of the more obscure ps flags.
FAIL: ps SCHED_BATCH scheduler
See [1]
So.. what does this test do?
It compiles [2]
Runs the binary as test-schedbatch 18
Runs ps --no-header -o comm,cls,nice -a
Expects the output to be "test-schedbatch B 18"
Most of my programs have TS instead of B. On my amd64 I see B
COMMAND CLS NI
bash TS 0
test-schedbatch B 18
ps TS 0
So.. what does an s390 see?
I tried compiling this small program and got a screenful of error
messages so I'm stuck.

Sorry Craig, but I can't reproduce your problem here:

Here the snippet from the build output:

Manual test seems fine, too:
