Bug#666746: FTBFS(s390x): BigPtrArrayUnittest::test_for_some1: assertion failed

[Rene Engelhard]

Hi,

your package failed to build from source on s390x. A chroot ("sid_s390x") does

Yeah, known. (3.4.x would have just "worked" because the tests there wouldn't be run at
all - but thankfully that one was stuck in BD-Uninstallable.)

exist on the s390 porterbox zelenka. At a casual uneducated glance it looks
like it got pretty far into the build.

jup. "just" the unit tests fail. (3.5.1-1 didn't fail in experimental
ad test failure wasn't fatal there accidentially).

The speciality of s390x is that it's 64bit big endian.

Upstream did a s390x port somewhen (it wouldn't get that far otherwise), but this
is beyond my knowledge and needs to involve upstream and/or s390 people..

Regards,

Rene

This really looks like a bug in the testsuite, Fedora has written a
patch [1]. I am currently testing it.
