You talk about "applications ... being written". Well, two days ago I
mentioned several groups of applications: (1) core packages that
accept alignment patches, (2) packages whose developers shouldn't
worry about small systems anyway, and (3) packags I am concerned about
i.e. the ones actually required by Debian/m68k users (which will
presumably lead to disto bug reports, if they didn't already -- hence
my question about bug reports which remains unanswered).
As I said before, it's about (transitive) build dependencies and the
fact that more and more packages are being rewritten in Rust.
Here is the current top of the list of packages that won't build on m68k
because of the 2-byte alignment issue:
2814 cargo:m68k
900 ghc:m68k
261 gccgo-14:m68k
241 libqt5core5a:m68k
181 architecture-is-64-bit:m68k
117 libglib2.0-0:m68k
81 libcompiler-libs-ocaml-dev-0a396:m68k
81 golang-go:m68k
71 wx3.2-headers:m68k
57 qt6-base-dev:m68k
57 python3:m68k
46 libamd2:m68k
Are you going to fix these for me?
Are you the only user?
Seriously though, thanks for providing data. Now, if you would link to the
upstream refusals for CPython and golang, I'll do what I can to help.
