cannot build xorg-xserver inside an armhf pbuilder chroot

[Matt Fischer]

I'm attempting to build the precise xorg-xserver on an amd64 host using an armhf chroot. I'm pretty sure this worked last week, but I can no longer prove that since it definitely does not work now.

I am attempting to build xorg-7.6+12ubuntu1 and it fails fairly quickly.

The chroot hangs here:
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
qemu-arm-static: /build/buildd/qemu-linaro-1.0.50-2012.03/user-exec.c:100: handle_cpu_signal: Assertion `({ unsigned long __guest = (unsigned long)(address) - guest_base; (__guest < (1ul << 32)) && (!reserved_va || (__guest < reserved_va)); })' failed.

I cannot seem to run strace, but I'm happy to gather whatever other info you need:
root@caprica:~/Projects/precise-armhf/xserver-xorg/xorg-7.6+12ubuntu1# strace dpkg-buildpackage
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 26
strace: ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, ...): Function not implemented

I'm using the ubuntu version which has superseded the linaro version.

This bug was fixed in qemu-linaro 2012.05.

I hit this bug on my precise amd64 machine trying to compile an armhf package using sbuild.

qemu-arm-static: /build/buildd/qemu-linaro-1.0.50-2012.03/user-exec.c:100: handle_cpu_signal: Assertion `({ unsigned long __guest = (unsigned long)(address) - guest_base; (__guest < (1ul << 32)) && (!reserved_va || (__guest < reserved_va)); })' failed.

Can we get this fix backported to precise?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
