[Pkg-vala-maintainers] Bug#591492: vala: FTBFS on armel: segfault

[Roland Mas]

Package: vala
Severity: serious
Version: 0.9.4-1

Trying to build vala 0.9.4-1 in a pbuilder environment on armel fails
with a segmentation fault.  The full log is attached for reference.
While still in the pbuilder environment, I installed gdb and
libglib2.0-0-dbg, and obtained the following backtrace:

`----

  The glib2.0 packages come from experimental (I built them in the same
pbuilder environment, since there's no armel buildd for experimental).
It's quite possible that this bug should be reassigned to glib2.0, but
it's been too long since I last debugged segfault-related stuff so I'll
leave that to you.

Roland.
