Percona Server 5.5.29 fails to compile on ARM (Raspian)

[Julius Schlosburg]

I followed the instructions at http://www.percona.com/docs/wiki/percona-server:install:source to install Percona Server 5.5 using the archive at http://www.percona.com/redir/downloads/Percona-Server-5.5/LATEST/source/Percona-Server-5.5.29-rel30.0.tar.gz. The exact steps I took after extracting were:

~/Percona-Server-5.5.29-rel30.0 $ ./configure --without-plugin-innobase --with-plugin-innodb_plugin
~/Percona-Server-5.5.29-rel30.0 $ time make

About 65 minutes in I received the following errors:
[ 69%] Building C object libmysql/CMakeFiles/clientlib.dir/__/sql-common/client_plugin.c.o

I found this same bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-server/5.5/+bug/700982, however it states that it was fixed with 5.5.17.

If there's any more information I can provide please let me know. Sorry in advance if this turns out to be user error! Thanks,

The bug was fixed in a Ubuntu package, but is still present in Percona Server. Marking as a duplicate of bug #700982.
