Bug Description

Binary package hint: likewise-open5

Build will fail on anything else than i386, amd64 and lpia with the following error:

lsaumproc.c:446:2: error: #error "unsupported platform"

This is because __LWI_LINUX__ is defined only in the following cases in lsass/configure.in:
case "$host_os:$host_cpu" in
 linux*:i?86)
 linux*:x86_64)

This would probably have to be fixed in */configure.in if support for other arches is indeed possible.
If it isn't, then likewise-open5 should probably specify only the build architectures supported.

According to Jerry this is by design, as those arches are untested and unsupported in Likewise Open 5.

Ubuntu now has patches to support this on armel, the ARM patchset in the Ubuntu package could give a guide how to support powerpc too.
