Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/samba4: fix build on m68k
Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 10:52:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260704085239.2901837-1-bernd@kuhls.net> (raw)
samba4 uses very big switch statements, which causes the build to fail
on m68k, because the offsets there are only 16-bit.
We fix that by using -mlong-jump-table-offsets on m68k to use 32-bit
offsets for switch statements, but this is only available starting with
gcc 7 [0] [1].
Only one package selects samba4, mpd, but it already depends on gcc
>= 12. As such, we do not need to propagate that new dependency.
Fixes:
