[Pkg-parrot-devel] Parrot 4.3.0 build failure on ia64

[Alessandro Ghedini]

Hi all,

Parrot 4.3.0 failed (twice) to build on Debian's ia64 buildd [0] with the error:

The problem here is that I cannot reproduce the failure on Debian's ia64
porterbox. Is anyone able to reliably reproduce it or is aware of any change
between 4.0.0 and 4.3.0 that may be causing this?

Cheers
