I posted a merge request to Launchpad back in April. A Launchpad glitch meant that it didn't get any attention but I was told on IRC to post about it here.
The merge request: https://code.launchpad.net/~chewi/maria/mysql-fix-bug61340/+merge/217351
The commit diff: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chewi/maria/mysql-fix-bug61340/revision/4165
Given the nature of the fix, I can appreciate that it is difficult for other developers to test but I can tell you that I have just tried out a cross-built MariaDB under QEMU/proot and it seems to work. I have also seen posts from others stating that they made similar temporary adjustments to the CMake files with successful results.
I am providing this contribution to the MariaDB Foundation under the MCA and also wish for it to be applied to MySQL.
Please guys, you told me to post this here and it has now been 2 weeks since after already having been ignored for months. I know this may not benefit anyone on this list but there are certainly others who wish to see this fixed. Remember that I was not the one who created the original MySQL bug report. It's not a massive change to review and all you really need to determine is that I haven't broken the regular build. Cross-compiling was already broken so it's not like I could have made it any worse. Regards, James
