Re: gcc-4.9.4 package build signal 11 [Segmentation fault] on Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway

All I hear is crickets, so I guess the SDNA Shasta is not available to mortals. I just rebuilt the OpenBSD build on my Ubiquiti USG with 5 GB swap. Reminds me of running FreeBSD on 486 systems back in the 90's. ;-) I have it building telephony/asterisk package, which has a LOT of dependencies.

The Intel flop hits the US .mil as well, because they depend on COTS Xeons. I pity the Russians. I wonder if they pay through the nose for Oracle's power hungry hardware, or make it cheaper and power efficient of their own. On Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at 18:28, Jordan Geoghegan

Hi Andreas, I installed OpenBSD on Oct. 16. 2017 after 18 years in Linux motivated by  reading an article from Derek Sivers on OpenBSD 6.1/6.2 I started with reading FAQ and mailing lists (mostly tech and misc) history. I also searched for some other articles on OpenBSD but I very soon

Not that I was able to see. I guess Intel does not give a shit about non-profit groups. Linux got this attention because there are a lot of players making money from it, players that surely have some sort of partnership with Intel. Around 2003, when I was still in college, I went to a IBM talk
