Finally worked on the security fix for masqmail and released ver-
sion  0.2.30.  It covers the old branch and is intendet to create
a new package for Debian.  The release for the  new  branch  will
incorporate  other  changes  too.  It's release is planned within
the next days.


Then I wanted to create the new Debian package.  As I  don't  run
Debian sid anymore on any of my computers, I set it up in qemu.

Compiling qemu for Crux resulted in:

     [...]
       CC    x86_64-softmmu/translate.o
     {standard input}: Assembler messages:
     {standard input}:12208359: Warning: end of file not at\
             end of a line; newline inserted
     {standard input}:12209892: Error: can't resolve `.text'\
             {.text section} - `.Ltex' {*UND* section}
     gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1)
     Please submit a full bug report.
     See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
     make[1]: *** [translate.o] Error 1
     make: *** [subdir-x86_64-softmmu] Error 2

All memory (>1G) was used during compilation, which likely caused
the problem.  The solution had been to add `-fno-var-tracking' to
CFLAGS.  [0]  I  did  this  by  using  a  custom  pkgmk.conf  for
pkgmk(1).


I installed the Debian system this way:

     qemu-img create debian.img 3g
     qemu -m 256 -hda debian.img -cdrom debian-6.0.2.1-i386-netinst.iso
