PowerPC kernel and C sages, After poking around with this issue for a week, one of my associates in the Debian Java Packaging project has suggested I run this by those in the know about C nuances on PowerPC architecture. I have been running the Eclipse JDT for Java(TM) development on a ppc sid install with the IBM 1.4.2 JDK for 32-bit PowerPC for some time now. I recently migrated from my Titanium PowerBook to one of the new(er) 15" Aluminum 1.67GHz units: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 7447A, altivec supported clock : 1666MHz revision : 1.2 (pvr 8003 0102) bogomips : 1658.88 machine : PowerBook5,6 motherboard : PowerBook5,6 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh detected as : 287 (Unknown Intrepid-based) pmac flags : 00000008 L2 cache : 512K unified memory : 2048MB pmac-generation : NewWorld $ uname -a Linux case 2.6.11.10barryh.1 #1 Tue May 24 12:44:30 EDT 2005 ppc GNU/Linux The only difference I can think of between this machine and the previous one is that I have the gcc-4.0 package and friends installed from experimental. I have been told that this should not affect the use of the IBM JDK in the way that I am experiencing. I have tried using different versions of the Eclipse binary install, building from source, mutliple "clean" installs of the JDK, etc. I have filed a bug report with Eclipse, bug #97375[0], which has one of the JDK core dumps attached to it. If anyone has any insight, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone begins to experience this behavior, please reply to this thread.
