NOTE: I have emailed the maintainer (mhlavink) on Friday but have not heard
back. Normally I would wait longer but it's FTBFS.
Currently 7.1.0 is in Fedora and I was looking at updating to something
more recent (8.x?) but noticed that there had been a few attempts to build
7.3.0, but only the ppc64le build was failing.
I believe I found a fix for ppc64le failing here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/branches/gcc-6-branch/libcpp/lex.c?r1=261...
Anyone see an issue with this?
I've got a scratch build here:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=32988860
I also performed a local mock build for Fedora 29 so I can test it out with
my project. For it I added %{?_smp_mflags} to the make lines and it
completed MUCH faster without issue.
I wonder if there was any particular reason it wasn't enabled in the
first place?
If this does indeed fix the build problem, is it OK if I push the patch and
build for Fedora 29->Rawhide?
Thanks,
Richard
