[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#324105: gnustep-base: FTBFS (ppc64): Please support the ppc64 architecture

[Andreas Jochens]

Package: gnustep-base
Version: 1.10.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The attached patch adds ppc64 to FFCALL_ARCHS in debian/rules.

Additionally, there is an ICE with the current version of gcc-4.0
on all architectures:

gcc mframe.m -c \
      -MMD -MP -DGNUSTEP_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/GNUstep/System -DGNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT=/usr/local/lib/GNUstep/Local -DGNUSTEP_NETWORK_ROOT=/usr/local/lib/GNUstep/Network -DGNUSTEP_TARGET_DIR=\".\" -DGNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU=\"ix86\" -DGNUSTEP_TARGET_OS=\"linux-gnu\" -DLIBRARY_COMBO=\"gnu-gnu-gnu\" -Wall -Wcast-align -DGNUSTEP-DGNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY=1 -DGNU_RUNTIME=1 -DGNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY=1 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DGSWARN -DGSDIAGNOSE -fno-strict-aliasing -fgnu-runtime -fconstant-string-class=NSConstantString -I../Headers/Additions -I../Headers -I./. -I. -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/root/GNUstep/Library/Headers -I/usr/local/lib/GNUstep/Local/Library/Headers -I/usr/local/lib/GNUstep/Network/Library/Headers -I/usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers \
