[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#760605: kbuild: FTBFS - kBuild/env.sh: unknown cpu/arch - ppc64le

[Fernando Seiti Furusato]

Source: kbuild
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-powerpc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64el

Dear Maintainer,

The package kbuild fails to build from source on ppc64el with the error on subject.
The full log can be found at:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=kbuild&arch=ppc64el&ver=1%3A0.1.9998svn2695%2Bdfsg-1&stamp=1408468233

I have created a patch, attached, that includes the architecture to kBuild/env.sh and kBuild/header.kmk, though I am not
sure if this is ideal.

Luckily PPC64 is already set as bi-endian in src/lib/k/kDefs.h definition, so there was no need to change that.

Anyway, after the aforementioned modifications, the package built successfully.

Thanks and regards.
Fernando
