[Pkg-octave-devel] Octave 3.4 FTBFS

[Sébastien Villemot]

The new octave 3.4 package FTBFS on all archs on which a build has been
attempted (including i386).

The main reason is that library symbols are different between 32 and 64
bit platforms. I pushed a fix which splits the liboctave0.symbols file
into a common part, a 32-bit and a 64-bit specific part, following the
example given in dpkg-shlibdeps(1). I was then able to build the package
with for both amd64 and i386.

There are also problems specific to kfreebsd-* and ia64. I pushed a fix
for kfreebsd-*, based on the build logs, but I did not test it since I
don't have an installation of this arch. For ia64, it may be simpler to
wait for the next upload, in order to get a diff based on the new
symbols files.
