Hi, I got the following bugreport from the lead developer of GMP[1] which is porting this library to linux-ppc64 via private mail, with request that it be published in the "most appropriate place" which --somehow-- seemed to be here. Since I don't have access to such a ppc64 machine, your help in finding the culprit is appreciated. Here goes: Ths lib/kernel bug causes the upper 32 bits of registers to become clobbered when a signal (at least SIGALRM) is delivered. How to reproduce: Compile/assemble and link without any options the two files included in the attachment and execute. If the bug is present, expect an abort call. Else the program should exit silently. [1] http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libgmp3
