[Pkg-octave-devel] octave-octgpr and octave-fixed package build failed on sh4

[Nobuhiro Iwamatsu]

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

I am troubled with the problem that the following packages cannot build on SH4.

octave-octgpr:
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/fetch.php?pkg=octave-octgpr&arch=sh4&ver=1.1.5-3&stamp=1268374301&file=log&as=raw

		rm -rf debian/octave-octgpr/usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/*/doc ;	\

I can not speak octave.
Would you teach a probable cause?
You can use porterbox (not debian officail yet ) if you want to
confirm it on sh4.
