More firebird ports

In the following months I’ll try to port firebird to all architectures
currently supported by Debian.

Two reasons:
1. I really want that firebird is no longer of those 10% of debian
packages that are not ported to all architectures.
2. I’ve read about the CONNECT! initiative and I think making firebird
available on more architectures would help spread the word.

Are there any objections against this?

If not, here’s the list of all Debian architectures.

Already ported:
i386
amd64
mipsel
sparc
powerpc
kfreebsd-i386[1]
kfreebsd-amd64

Need to be ported[2]:
alpha
arm
hppa
ia64
m68k
mips
s390 = IBM/S390

The porting won’t be very quick, since it depends of my free time and I
may abandon it in the middle as well. Anyway, I want to give it a try.

When I’m ready, I’ll post here a patch for HEAD.

If somebody needs a particular port, please raise your hand. I prefer to
start from the more popular ports.

Thanks,
dam
