[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: gnu-smalltalk
Version: 3.2.5-1
Severity: serious
Tags: buster sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20170805 qa-ftbfs
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
> checking for LIBFFI... yes
> checking for sigsegv_install_handler in -lsigsegv... no
> 
> Platform environment:
> checking whether the host supports __sync_fetch_and_add... no
> configure: error: Synchronization primitives not found, please use a newer compiler.
> debian/rules:16: recipe for target 'configure-stamp' failed

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
