Description John Reiser 2007-01-26 17:20:37 UTC 
Description of problem: When re-building glibc-2.5-10.fc6.src.rpm on an Apple
Macintosh mini (PowerPC ppc7450), each test of "make check" fails with SIGILL. 
The power6 emulation does not work because
build-ppc-linuxnptl-power6/elf/ld.so.1 uses a rldicl instruction (rotate left
double word immediate then clear left) at memcpy+484 before the LD_PRELOAD can
take effect.  rldicl requires powerpc64.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.5-10.fc6.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild -ba --target ppc glibc-2.5-10.fc6.spec
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Expected results:
No SIGILL (signal 4; 132= (128 + 4))

Additional info:
Where is LIB set (part of the pathname in LD_PRELOAD)?
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2007-01-26 17:32:49 UTC 
Either accept testsuite failures then, or don't build it on pre-ppc64 hw,
or comment out /lib/power6 libs build.  I'm really not interested in writing
an emulator for all missing instructions.
