Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, this package failed to build
on i386.

This package currently has binary packages on i386, so this is a regression.

Relevant part (hopefully):
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2024/12/28/maxima_5.47.0-5_unstable-i386.log

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

thanks

Greetings, and thanks for your report!  I just built the package
successfully in a freshly updated chroot on barriere.  The build here
seems to have been on a machine with limited memory and with a peculiar
kernel oom policy -- GCL will probe the kernel on startup for the
maximum amount of memory that can be brk'ed and strictly stay within
these limits.  Apparently the kernel allows more memory to the probe
than it will actually allow when memory is written.  One can reduce the
GCL_MEM_MULTIPLE parameter to work within a subset of what appears
possible.  I can certainly upload a revision with such if I can find an
environment with the problem with which to experiment.

Take care,
