**REQUESTING HELP FROM SH4 PORTERS IN DEBIAN**

The MariaDB builds on sh4 have started to fail frequently in 2025. See
trend at https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=mariadb&arch=sh4
with most builds passing in 2023-2024 but then starting from early
2025 builds frequently fail. However, they seem to pass on rebuilds.

The build failures of MariaDB however are not simple "out of disk
space" or "out of memory" issues, but crashes. I wonder if sh4 porters
could help test MariaDB builds to debug what is going on and if the
frequent build failures are a sign of a latent real code error?

Hello Otto,

The latest failure seen on sh4 in sid is because of cmake crashing which
could be because of libuv1 using io_uring. However, I had io_uring disabled
in libuv1 in the past [1], so I'll have to dig into the crash to see what
the problem is.

I still have a tab open for this, did somebody jump on it or is it still
open? (I saw Glaubitz' post on december 10th, but no follow-up since.)

Hi Rob!

I am not aware of any concrete actions after that. The status in this
thread and what is visible in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1111616 and
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1122332 is current
as far as I know.
