[pkg-mad-maintainers] Bug#596936: libmad: FTBFS on armhf (preliminary arch support)

[Konstantinos Margaritis]

Package: libmad
Version: 0.15.1b-5
Severity: wishlist


While building this package on the new armhf port -running on debian-ports atm-
we encountered two bugs that were already discovered in Ubuntu for ARM:

1. use "adr" instead of "add" to make code ready for
   thumb2 (LP: #513734)
2. Provide-Thumb-2-alternative-code-for-MAD_F_MLN.diff: fix another
    ftbfs with thumb2 as "rsc" doesnt exist anymore - thanks to Dave
    Martin for this patch (LP: #534287)

The reason it wasn't discovered on armel or arm is that armhf by design uses thumb2
by default for size/speed reasons which led to a number of similar bugs found across
some packages.

I've gathered both into a patch which I would appreciate if you would apply to the
current libmad version in order to have it build properly on armhf.

Thanks
