Bug#1059508: tcsh: Compilation failed on multiple architectures

[Zhang Na]

Source: tcsh
Version: 6.24.10-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: zha...@loongson.cn

Dear Maintainer,

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=tcsh&suite=sid
Compilation failed on multiple architectures, the reason for failure is the same. You should compile using regular users instead of root. The shell prompts for root and user are different, and testing will result in errors for root.
I have verified on Loong64.
Many packages depend on tcsh, please help compile them through,
thanks!

my test:

Please try again,  I did not occur this error. This has nothing to do
with the architecture, perhaps you can help solve this permission problem.

I've tried building using loong64 QEMU sbuild as described here:
https://wiki.debian.org/LoongArch/sbuildQEMU

The build appears to require loong64-ported version of
linux-libc-dev. Otherwise, <asm/sigcontext.h> would be missing.

When linux-libc-dev is satisfied, the build compiles successfully,
but then fails at override_dh_auto_test stage, with 1 failed test:
"status". The log in testsuite.log says:

---8<---
233. variables.at:1397: testing $ status ...
./variables.at:1407: tcsh -f status.csh 2>&1 | sed 's/Abort *(core dumped)/Abort

The extra output line comes from QEMU.
Is it possible to configure sbuild/buildd chroot to quiet QEMU?

For the 'nice' test reported earlier, it now passes.
