The only archs that have been tested are amd64 and x86. I'm quite sure
ia64, ppc and ppc64 will not compile as is, and, anyway, all these
architectures are only of little use to the end-user, which is the
target of ddccontrol : ia64 is only meant for servers, ppc and ppc64 are
almost dead for end-users, as Apple switched to Intel (if someone with
an "old" mac wants to do the job to try to compile it, I'd of course
accept a patch).

This is not a bug, the monitor does not support DDC/CI. I'll answer
directly on debian bugs.

Thanks for forwarding bugs.
