Bug#503144: FTBFS on armel: gsf-scan, ** ERROR **: Compilation trouble with endianess.
Riku Voipio
Version: 1.14.9-1
Severity: serious
Found on all gsf versions since 1.14.9-1:
-snip-
creating gsf-scan
gtk-doc: Running scanner gsf-scan
** ERROR **: Compilation trouble with endianess.
aborting...
sh: line 1: 7588 Aborted ( ./gsf-scan )
-snip-
Full build log:
Looking at the error in sources, it seems like floating point
issue. Armel (arm eabi) has natural floating point order.

gsf-scan is a generated file; the gtk-doc-tools package is responsible for
its template. Reassigning accordingly.

Would you rather be root or reboot?

The error is coming from gsf-init. Reassigning accordingly.
gsf thinks only vfp enabled arm uses natural endian doubles. However,
eabi does that as well. As anyone using vfp is also using eabi,
the correct change is to switch the define.
I believe libgsf is actually broken on armel on older versions too,
it just that someone added runtime float detection to gsf-init that
exposes this br0kenness.

"rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups
