Description Jochen Schmitt 2007-07-04 14:42:41 UTC 
The bug is blocked, becaused I have some compiling issues on the ppc paltform.

I have contact upstream over the mailing list of the project.

This is a splitt of ob BZ #240230
Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2007-07-04 15:46:01 UTC 
I have found out the reasons, why the test suite fails on the ppc arch.

On modern(??) ppc64 system there are a execstack protection feature which
prohibit s the execution of dynamic created code from the stack. but this is
what the lightning test suite doing

When I do a 'execstack -s incr' in test test directory, the the 'incr' test is
running as expected.
Comment 2 David Woodhouse 2007-07-05 03:52:04 UTC 
That's the same as on modern i386 systems then. The broken package needs fixing,
surely?
