parted build fails on m68k ...

[Timshel Knoll]

Andrew,

After telling you that parted had compiled cleanly on all arches but
m68k hadn't gotten around to building yet, I checked the m68k buildlog,
and the build failed with the following error:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include -O2 -D_REENTRANT
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\"

-Werror -c calc.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o calc.o

(the full build log is available from
http://m68k.debian.org/buildd/logs/parted_1.4.14-1_20010603-1006)

This looks really wierd. The assignments of all of the listed variables
happens clearly on lines 73-78 of calc.c, as does the assignment of
new_clusters_size at line 289. Have a look and see if you can work
anything more out than me :-) No doubt I'll get a bug report about it
anyway - I'll keep you posted.
