Description Jerry James 2023-01-12 22:03:40 UTC
Description of problem:
Attempting to build bigloo 4.5a-1 in Rawhie (F38) fails on ppc64le only, due to a segfault while compiling Scheme code.  The segfault makes little sense.  We are doing a map operation on a list.  While assembling the result list, the tail pointer for the result list somehow becomes NULL, leading to the segfault when we try to add the next element onto the list.  It is unclear whether this is the result of some defect in the bigloo code, a bug in the toolchain, or a bug in the bundled gc library.

I will disable ppc64le builds for now until the problem can be diagnosed and fixed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bigloo-4.5-1.1.fc38

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build the bigloo package on a ppc64le host
2.
3.

Actual results:
A segfault while compiling Scheme code.

Expected results:
The Scheme compiler should not segfault.
