This is a sparc only FTBFS, and none of us own a sparc machine. Does
anybody have a spare one they could let me (or somebody else in the
Perl group) ssh into to debug it?

Cheers,

the upstream author of libdevel-declare-perl thinks that this could be
the same as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505415
so if somebody with a sparc machine could just rebuild
libdevel-declare-perl against the perl in experimental and confirm
that it builds, that would be sufficient.

Cheers,
Ryan

http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi lists a number of Debian sparc
machines.

The GCC compile farm has sparc machines too:
        http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm
You don't need to be a GCC developer to get an account.

If it's a Debian-on-sparc specific build problem, rather than
just a sparc-specific build problem, I guess that might not help.

I can confirm this.


Core was generated by `debugperl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch t/combi.t'.
Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error.
#0  0xf7c7dadc in S_scan_str (my_perl=<value optimized out>, offset=13) at stolen_chunk_of_toke.c:716
716     SvGROW(sv, SvCUR(sv) + (PL_bufend - s) + 1);

It works with Perl 5.10.1. A workaround for 5.10.0 is to lower the
optimization to -O1.
