[Pkg-parrot-devel] parrot FTBS on ia64 mipsel and sparc

[Alessandro Ghedini]

Hi,

I've just noticed that parrot 4.0.0 fails to build from source on ia64 mipsel
and sparc [0] with the same "Bus error" when calling:

> ./miniparrot -Iruntime/parrot/include config_lib.pir > runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc

and I can reproduce the failures in the respective porterboxes (I've tried
smetana.d.o for sparc and eder.d.o for mipsel). The same happens with the
latest revision in the upstream git repository.

gdb says:

(this was taken with the code from git on mipsel). I'm now running a git bisect
(again, on mipsel), it will take some time though.

Any idea on what may be causing this?

Cheers
