PHP fails to build on aarch64

PHP fails to build on aarch64

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

on core-updates-frozen some of the PHP tests keep failing on 
aarch64.  Last time I ran it there were 7 failing tests.  PHP is 
needed for libsoup-minimal, which is an input to gtk 3.

What can we do here?  (It’s a little ugly to need PHP to build 
GTK, but at least it’s just a build time input…)

When I build it on aarch64 only the pcre.jit test is failing for me. I
tried cherry-picking the php update patch to core-updates but it still
failed for me, still with only the one test failing.

I’m building it again right now.  Previously only one of the tests 
failed.

Hi,

I have since removed PHP from libsoup’s dependencies, in commit
90570b5e9f3da11a63e7c7865d44daddf2e366b5.  A quick grep on the latest
version of libsoup suggested that it’s not used at all.

I think we’d rather not have those low-level libraries depend on big and
frequently-updated packages.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
