I got and installed a sparc box this morning, but couldn't configure the
bridge on my primary box, so i had to disable it. Anyone know how to
make a linux bridge work correctly ?
Anyway, Xavier had a look, and found the problem, it was just a
configuration problem, and can be (temporarily) sovled by doing :
mv config/m.h config/m.h.orig
sed -e '/ARCH_ALIGN_DOUBLE/s/undef/define/' config/m.h.orig > config/m.h
On Sparc after configure has been run.
Apparently gcc 3.2 now knows how to access 64 bit integers unaligned,
while older gcc didn't know how to do this, or maybe it is just the
configure script testing which went bad.
