Source: 7zip
Severity: wishlist
Hi, could you consider building the 7zip package using its provided assembler
code? As stated in upstream's readme.txt, "if you compile the version with
Assembeler code, you will get faster 7-Zip binary".
-- System Information:
Debian Release: bookworm/sid
APT prefers testing
APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)
Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads)
Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE
Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash
Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
LSM: AppArmor: enabled

x86 assembler code wants "asmc" to build that not in Debian packages.
So there is some more issues to resolve.

Hi, thank you for having looked into this. I believe that asmc can be
compiled from source with GCC, as mentioned in upstream's issue tracker
[1].
The current state of asmc + Linux support is not really mature and is
considered experimental, but it is a thing that the upstream author
wants to support. It will take time, but it will eventually be possible
to build asmc without many issues.
As this is something that could change in the future, I believe that
marking this as wontfix is not the best solution.

Thanks for your replay.
But it needs some more time to resolve this issue.
