Source: luajit
Version: 2.1.0~beta3+dfsg-5
Severity: serious
Control: affects -1 src:neovim src:knot-resolver

neovim and knot-resolver FTBFS with luajit 2.1.0~beta3+dfsg-5:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=neovim&arch=mips64el
https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=knot-resolver&arch=mips64el

knot-resolver FTBFS on the buildd, but builds for me on eller.

21:10 < jcowgill> bunk: not sure, but i notice both failed on loongsons
21:10 < jcowgill> gcc has a few workarounds disabling some instructions since loongson doesn't quite implement the mips isa properly
21:14 < bunk> jcowgill: that sounds like possibly related to a jit failing on this hw

Instead of shipping code that is strongly suspected to be nonworking
on part of the supported hardware of mips64el, it is IMHO better to
disable luajit on mips64el again.
