bug#18003: texlive-2014 fails to build on MIPS

[Mark H Weaver]

texlive-2014 contains a copy of luajit which fails its test suite on
MIPS, thus causing the entire build to fail on guix.  Here's the tail of
the build log:

Here's the contents of luajiterr.log on Loongson 2F:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
../../../texlive-20140525-source/libs/luajit/luajiterr.test: line 6:  9268 Illegal instruction     ./luajittry -e "error('test')" 2> jiterr.tmp
1,4d0
< ./luajittry: (command line):1: test
< stack traceback:
< 	[C]: in function 'error'
< 	(command line):1: in main chunk
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

On Loongson 3A, it's almost the same except that it's "Bus Error"
instead of "Illegal instruction".

I will investigate further and report back.

bug#18003: texlive-2014 fails to build on MIPS

[Mark H Weaver]

I found that Guix's own 'luajit' package builds successfully on MIPS,
presumably because it does not run the test suite.  The 'luajit' package
in Guix includes "#:tests? #f" in the arguments, with the comment
"luajit is distributed without tests".

bug#18003: texlive-2014 fails to build on MIPS

[Mark H Weaver]

I've worked around the problem by disabling tests on MIPS, commit
2f4640e320a8834f618c7be5a7e8dba62da91190.  Closing this bug.

Great, thanks!
