Description Nate Case 2008-04-10 20:40:40 UTC

ltrace 0.4 doesn't seem to support ppc64 since it's not listed in KEYWORDS.

If I add ppc64 to KEYWORDS, the build fails due to missing sysdeps/linux-gnu/ppc64.  However, after looking into it, it looks like we should just use sysdeps/linux-gnu/ppc on ppc64.

A small fixup in the ebuild to create a symlink from ppc -> ppc64 allows ltrace to build and run successfully (see attached patch).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ltrace on any ppc64 system
2.
3.

Adding ppc64 as well so they can decide if they want to put this change in and test it.

updated files/ltrace-0.5.3-ppc.patch to replace powerpc64 with ppc in HOST_CPU.

Please sync in an hour or so and try again (added ~ppc64 to 0.5.3).

I just emerged ltrace-0.5.3 with your ppc64 changes.  I can verify that it built fine now and ltrace appears functional.  Thanks.
