I think the information in the patch description is mostly sufficient to explain the issue. It is possible this build issue is specific to Debian and not a problem elsewhere. It is also possible that this additional flag will break builds on other platforms. I cannot test either of these possibilities easily. In any case, I'm forwarding this patch upstream, as per Debian guidelines. If this patch is included upstream, then it will not need to be included in Debian. Please also note that the `x86-headers64` used was from svn://svn.clozure.com/openmcl/release/1.8/x86-headers64 The corresponding web link is http://svn.clozure.com/publicsvn/openmcl/release/1.8/x86-headers64/gnustep/C/populate.sh BTW, I notice that the interface databases are only built for the gnustep headers on amd64. I tried copying them to i386 and building the databases on i386, but got a segfault. {{{ Description: Fix error when running x86-headers64/gnustep/C/populate.sh Without this patch, when running x86-headers64/gnustep/C/populate.sh, the following error occurs. .
