[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#672710: openssl FTBFS on Alpha: typo in debian-alpha config target

[Michael Cree]

Source: openssl
Version: 1.0.1c-1
Severity: Important
Justification: Fails to build from source (but built in past)
User: debian-alpha at lists.debian.org
Usertags: alpha
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-alpha at lists.debian.org

openssl FTBFS on Alpha. Build log at:

http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=openssl&arch=alpha&ver=1.0.1c-1&stamp=1336857128

The clue to what is wrong in the build log is the output of the
Configure command, in particular CFLAG which gets set to:

CFLAG         =-DZLIB -DOPENSSL_THREADS -ldl -DDSO_-FPIC -DTERMIO
-D_REENTRANT -DWHIRLPOOL_ASM

The "-DDSO_-FPIC" bit is nonsense and leads to the numerous compiler
warnings and the eventual build error.

The problem arises because of a typo in
debian/patches/debian-targets.patch for the debian-alpha target.  The
bit reading "$debian_cflag" should be "${debian_cflags}".

Cheers
Michael.
