Hi,
I upgraded my iMac G5 to latest debian, including kernel 5.14 !
The good thing is that the new kernel boots and X11 comes up.
The bad news is lots of applications crash and they all have one thing
in common, libffi.
So e.g. a build of ArcticFox fails:
multix@PPC970FX:~/code/Arctic-Fox$ ./mach build
/usr/bin/which: this version of `which' is deprecated; use `command
-v' in scripts instead.
Illegal instruction
dmesg shows:
