Description:
Hello

I am unable to build MySQL on the Alpha architecture. It works on i386, mips, s390...
The complete build log is available at:
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=mysql-dfsg-4.1&ver=4.1.7-4&arch=alpha&stamp=110243...

bye,

-christian- (Debian maintainer for MySQL)

Hi, I tested your configure options  on alfa:
> uname -a
Linux ds20 2.4.4-SMP #2 SMP Fri Aug 24 15:45:13 GMT 2001 alpha unknown

but on SuSE linux:

>cat /etc/SuSE-release
SuSE Linux 7.0 (Alpha)
VERSION = 7.0

I hit to bug http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=8162 but when I remove ndb options, mysql was builded without error.

What do you think, Is it possible this error appears on very Debian linux on alfa? If you have ideas how to reproduce this error pls let us know.

Currently (4.1.10) MySQL builds fine on all architectures that Debian supports so this bug can be  closed, too.
