Hi,

I am now trying to run Debian on Renesas SH(sh4) CPU.
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/architecture.php?suite=unstable&a=sh4

mpich2 FTBFS on SH4.
Because OPA isn't available on sh4.

http://buildd.debian-ports.org/fetch.php?pkg=mpich2&arch=sh4&ver=1.2.1-2&stamp=1260957863&file=log&as=raw

-----
checking for mkstemp... yes
checking for rand... yes
checking for srand... yes
checking for OpenPA atomic primitive availability... no
configure: error:
The nemesis channel was selected yet no native atomic primitives are
available on this platform.  OpenPA can emulate atomic primitives using
locks by specifying --with-atomic-primitives=no but performance will be
very poor.  This override should only be specified for correctness
testing purposes.
configure: error: ./configure failed for channels/nemesis
configure: error: Configure of src/mpid/ch3 failed!
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
-----
Therefore, sh4 needs "--with-atomic-primitives=no" option for confiugre.
I made patch to debian/rules. Could you apply this patch?

Best regards,
 Nobuhiro
