Hello, I am fairly confident that I have tracked down the source of binaries that crash on my ARM710. It seems to have been a Netwinder of Bdale Garbee's, which was running unstable, but hadn't been upgraded to the latest unstable packages for quite some time. A couple of people used the machine for compiling, including the perl and X maintainers. Now that this Netwinder seems to have been upgraded [er, well, also its disk crashed shortly afterwards, I gather :-/], I hope whatever broken toolchain existed there has been fixed, and no more broken packages will enter unstable. NB: In order for some things not to crash here, I have to run a 2.4 kernel with the Debian-specific "Netwinder" patches. I suspect it's got something to do with the kernel alignment trap handler, but I'm not sure at all. <sigh> Just now that things finally start working, my RiscPC's harddisk shows signs of dying... :-/ Cheers, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | CS student at the Technische | GnuPG key: | \/¯| http://atterer.net | Universität München, Germany | 0x888354F7 ¯ ´` ¯
