Bug#1086347: bookworm-pu: package bochs/2.7+dfsg-4

[Stephen Kitt]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: ***@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu

Dear release team,

[ Reason ]

One of the BIOS images in Bochs is built for the default GCC
architecture, rather than the expected i386. This causes the BIOS to
crash, making some configurations unworkable. See #1082917 for details.

[ Impact ]

Some configurations crash the emulated environment.

[ Tests ]

I’ve reproduced #1082917 and verified the fix; the reporter has
confirmed the fix on Debian 12 too (using the updated BIOS image with
the bookworm package).

[ Risks ]

This aligns the Debian build with the upstream build. Only one file is
affected; it doesn’t work currently, and works with the fix. I don’t
see any downside.

[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]

This sets -march=i386 when building the “latest” BIOS image, to ensure
that the generated code works on emulated 386 CPUs.

[ Other info ]

Nothing I can think of.

Regards,

Stephen

Apologies, that’s not accurate — the reporter tested the package in testing.
I reproduced it and checked the fix in bookworm.
