Please make sure Elixir and all source files were compiled in a machine with the same endianness as the current one: little Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install elixir on fedora 26 x86_64 from official repos 2. Run elixirc --version Actual Results: Software crashes with warning messange and crash dump Expected Results: Software running, in this case returning version information. Package info: Name : elixir Version : 1.4.2 Release : 1.fc26 Running Linux 4.11.9-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 5 16:21:56 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Worth noting: I observe that the fc26 package is built using a PPC build host buildvm-ppc64-04.ppc.fedoraproject.org while the fc25 package is built using an x86_64 host buildvm-27.phx2.fedoraproject.org
So it turned out that elixir is arch-dependent package. Actually endiannes-dependent but we can build either arch-dependent and arch-independent packages.
Looking into this, I'm not sure what the standard practice is to make a package arch-specific. There's been issues in the past with yum and dnf about updates that switch arch.
