build failure on ia64

This also blocks couchdb from rebuilding on ia64 and holds xulrunner-1.9.1 in component-mismatches, so marking as high; not particularly tied to beta2, however.

I've disabled the unit tests for xulrunner on ia64 for now until we figure out why it's not working

FWIW, the test which is failing seems to allocate a block of memory and then fills it with return instructions. The return instruction for the build architecture is defined at the top of the source file, but there is no return instruction defined for ia64

/* This program assumes that a whole number of return instructions fit into
 * 32 bits, and that 32-bit alignment is sufficient for a branch destination.
 */

  defined _M_IX86 || defined _M_AMD64
#define RETURN_INSTR 0xC3C3C3C3 /* ret; ret; ret; ret */

#elif defined __arm__ || defined _M_ARM
#define RETURN_INSTR 0xE12FFF1E /* bx lr */

// PPC has its own style of CPU-id #defines. There is no Windows for
// PPC as far as I know, so no _M_ variant.
#elif defined _ARCH_PPC || defined _ARCH_PWR || defined _ARCH_PWR2
#define RETURN_INSTR 0x4E800020 /* blr */

#elif defined __sparc || defined __sparcv9

#else
#error "Need return instruction for this architecture"
#endif

This bug was fixed in the package xulrunner-1.9.2 - 1.9.2.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

---------------
xulrunner-1.9.2 (1.9.2.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release v1.9.2.3 (FIREFOX_3_6_3_RELEASE)

  * Provide a dummy xulrunner-1.9 binary package to handle a case where
    the update-alternatives calls in the old prerm script fail when the
    package is removed after a Hardy => Lucid upgrade, if no other
    xulrunner version is present on the system (LP: #525621)
    - update debian/control
    - add debian/xulrunner-1.9.prerm
  * Use the dummy xulrunner-1.9 package to clean up obsolete conffiles
    during Hardy => Lucid upgrades
    - add debian/xulrunner-1.9.preinst
  * Refreshed patches for new upstream source
    - update debian/patches/add_syspref_dir.patch
  * Disable unit tests for now on ia64 (LP: #555127)
    - update debian/rules

still fails to build, still blocking openjdk-6 builds:

dh_install: xulrunner-1.9.2-testsuite missing files (debian/tmp/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9*/chrome/pageloader.jar), aborting
make: *** [binary-post-install/xulrunner-1.9.2] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 2

B'ah, that's because it's not running the test-suite any more.

Ok, I will try to fix and reenable the test-suite properly tomorrow

How about making it only include the test suite if it's enabled?
