Comment 2 for bug 475338

Hello,

  Sorry, I overlooked one difference from Debian, which is the way the armel issue is handled. Back when g++-4.3 was the default g++, it had some bug with armel architecture, hence the solution was for texlive-bin to build-depend on "g++-4.2 [armel]". Ubuntu changed this to pass "-fno-tree-ter" option to g++ instead of using g++-4.2 for armel arch. Now Debian changed the build-depend to "g++-4.4 [armel]", so if g++-4.4 will remain the default g++ for lucid, I think we can still sync (instead of merge) texlive-bin from Debian.

Btw, I just got an email [1] from debian-tex-maint mailing list that the special handling of armel will be dropped anyways once the default compiler on Debian switches to 4.4.
