Dear,
The squid package as provided from substitute servers currently crashes
on my (admittedly old) Core 2 Duo server. Though generally observed in
a different context (virtualization), this is an FAQ from SQUID -- see:
I think the fix of disabling -march=native should actually be applied.
In the current state, not only does the package not work on some x86_64
machines, but the outcome of the build depends on the builder machine
and thus defeats reproducibility.
Please find attached a patch implementing the fix from the FAQ, which
yields a SQUID usable on my home server, and reproducible from the two
build machines at my disposal.
NB: maybe a more general fix could be envisionned for these kind of
-march=native issues; this is admittedly a pretty local fix.
Kind regards,
Jean-Baptiste
