Re: Bug#1127311: newmat FTBFS with undefined symbol __parse_hwcap_and_convert_at_platform

Dear Maintainer,

Following up on my previous analysis, I have now submitted a formal 
Merge Request on Salsa with this fix:

MR Link: https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/newmat/-/merge_requests/2

I have verified the build on a ppc64el(p10) machine and it is 
successful.
Please review it and  let me know if you can merge and upload this, or 
if you would like me to provide a .patch file instead.

Thanks,
Trupti
