[Pkg-db-devel] Bug#276828: db4.0: FTBFS on amd64: No linuxthreads

[Daniel Schepler]

--=-=-=

Package: db4.0
Severity: important
Version: 4.0.14-2

>From my build log:

...
 fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh_testdir
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
make: *** [clean] Error 127

As the subject says, this is because amd64 doesn't have Linuxthreads
available.  I've attached a patch which lets the package build on
amd64, and incidentally also lets configure know that amd64 can use
x86/gcc-assembly mutexes.
