Re: MIPS packages seg-faulting on Loongson CPU

[Frederic Muller <frederic.muller@dexxon.cn>]

Yes "nearly all packages work". Thunderbird/icedove seg-faults, 
xscreensaver (sid - not Lenny) and since we're also running on a netbook 
some application are unusable (Evolution wizard is bigger than the 
screen and un-resizable).

Another question is whether bugs should be reported versus Lenny or sid?

Thanks

Anyway we'll be meeting tomorrow night (yeah!) so we can talk more and 
exchange ideas, problems and solutions...
