[pkg-firebird-general] Bug#828141: firebird2.5: Please add platform support for m68k

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hello!

Attaching an updated patch which includes an additional alignment fix for m68k
by Michael Karcher. He discovered that "sem_t" was incorrectly aligned to 16 bits
which resulted in "create_db" crashing with [1]:

sh -x -c "lockfile -1 ../gen/firebird/bin/build-db.lock && ../gen/firebird/bin/create_db empty.fdb; res=\$?; rm -f ../gen/firebird/bin/build-db.lock; exit \$res"
+ lockfile -1 ../gen/firebird/bin/build-db.lock
+ ../gen/firebird/bin/create_db empty.fdb
The futex facility returned an unexpected error code.Aborted
+ res=134
+ rm -f ../gen/firebird/bin/build-db.lock
+ exit 134
../gen/Makefile.refDatabases:66: recipe for target 'empty.fdb' failed

This updated patch fixes this issue. However, firebird2.5 continues to FTBFS on m68k [2]:

+ ../gen/firebird/bin/isql_static -i ../src/msgs/msg.sql msg.fdb
