Hi all, This is a JFYI that recent Alphas (I don't know if it's a kernel or libc) are seriously broken. Wilko brought an issue in my face that a make(1) binary on his "a couple days ago" development box is dumping a core. I logged in to beast.FreeBSD.org only to find out the same, and also that cc(1) is dumping core as well when I try to compile a dummy source file: $ uname -a FreeBSD beast.freebsd.org 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #462: Tue Aug 17 17:41:15 UTC 2004 kensmith_at_beast.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/alpha/compile/BEAST alpha $ cat a.c void dummy(void) {} $ cc -o a.o a.c Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ make a.o Segmentation fault (core dumped) I'd call beast and Wilko's DS10 dead machines now. :-( Maybe this is related to the TLS work, I don't know... Maybe this has been fixed already, but these machines don't have a chance to upgrade nicely. Cheers, -- Ruslan Ermilov ru_at_FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer
