How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try building sagemath from master branch HEAD (fedpkg build --scratch --nowait --arch=aarch64)

Actual results:
No matching package to install: 'linbox-devel'

Expected results:
No uninstallable dependencies.

Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-09-29 06:52:34 UTC
I tried building linbox, but it fails when compiling tests:

In file included from /usr/include/fflas-ffpack/fflas/fflas_freduce.inl:38:0,
                 from /usr/include/fflas-ffpack/fflas/fflas_freduce.h:56,

         );
          ^
This seems to be an error in fflas-ffpack, it seems to assume that amd64 register names are available.

Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2016-09-29 12:14:31 UTC
It built on armv7hl before and the tests passed. Maybe it just doesn't know about aarch64 and assumes x86?

Comment 3 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2016-09-29 12:16:37 UTC
Also, it looks like it's being built with -O2 in CFLAGS:

Comment 4 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2016-09-29 12:16:57 UTC
... I mean *without* -O2.

Comment 5 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2016-09-29 12:29:25 UTC
... but that's on purpose:

# Don't try to optimize the tests; the build takes gargantuan amounts of memory
sed -i 's|-O2||g' tests/Makefile

It's rather a bug in fflas-ffpack:
fflas_ffpack-2.2.2/fflas-ffpack/utils/bit_manipulation.h:
#ifdef __FFLASFFPACK_HAVE_INT128
// division 128bits by 64 bits
// int128_t(u1,u0) = u1*2^64+u0, div v, rem r
// return quo
static uint64_t divide_128(uint64_t u1, uint64_t u0, uint64_t v, uint64_t *r)
{
        // u0 -> rax
        // u1 -> rdx
        // divq
        uint64_t result;
        __asm__("divq %[v]"
                        : "=a"(result), "=d"(*r)
                        : [v] "r"(v), "a"(u0), "d"(u1)
               );
        return result;
}
#endif

The use of x86 assembly should be guarded by appropriate #ifdefs or intrinsics should be used.

Comment 6 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2016-09-29 12:32:01 UTC
It looks like the Debian maintainer reported a related bug already: https://github.com/linbox-team/fflas-ffpack/issues/45

Comment 7 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2016-09-29 13:02:21 UTC
However, enabling -O optimization for the tests makes the build complete and tests pass on aarch64:

Comment 8 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2016-09-29 15:50:03 UTC
No issues on other primary arches either, so committed, pushed and new build submitted: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=15861362 .
