The underlying difficulty here is that using the current gcc breaks an openssl API related test (des_encrypt).

It seems that the options are:

1. Link with openssl.
2. Disable des_encrypt support.
3. Update the embedded yassl if that can fix the problem.
4. Cherry-pick from upstream yassl if that can fix the problem.
5. Link with GnuTLS instead.
6. Carry on with gcc-4.4.

I'll keep looking into it.

I've concluded that the best thing to do is to disable the i386 assembly optimisations altogether. This was discussed in the Debian bug last year, and gcc-4.4 was used as a workaround. I've asked them to revisit this again.

I am reluctant to suggest anything else, since given the current swing in interest towards MariaDB and Percona, I think it is prudent to keep our delta against Debian and upstream minimal. We could fix the i386 assembly so that upstream could accept it, but I don't think that's a useful use of time. But if anyone else wants to have a go at that, please go ahead.

Note that this is also now tracked in a second bug in Debian

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707280

They may be merged at some point. That one is RC, and I'm working on a fix for Debian now.

<rbasak> SpamapS: any update on bug 1162139/debian 678252 please? You had marked it pending...
<SpamapS> rbasak: we are stalled on MySQL 5.5.33 failing to build due to broken tests
<SpamapS> rbasak: the fix is in the svn repo tho
<rbasak> SpamapS: thanks. I'll try cherry-picking that then I guess.

Looks like I need to cherry-pick this svn commit: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-mysql/mysql-5.5/branches/unstable/debian/rules?r1=2201&r2=2231
