Greetings!
May I suggest trying this entry from amd64-linux.h:
#ifdef IN_SFASL
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define CLEAR_CACHE {\
void *p,*pe; \
p=(void *)((unsigned long)memory->cfd.cfd_start & ~(PAGESIZE-1)); \
pe=(void *)((unsigned long)(memory->cfd.cfd_start+memory->cfd.cfd_size) &
~(PAGESIZE-1)) + PAGESIZE-1; \
if (mprotect(p,pe-p,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC)) {\
fprintf(stderr,"%p %p\n",p,pe);\
perror("");\
FEerror("Cannot mprotect", 0);\
}\
}
#endif
I.e., copy powerpc-macosx.{defs,h} to i386-macosx.{defs,h}, make the
above modification, make sure configure detects the host right, and
then see where we are.
This code flushes the data cache so that the cpu ca properly execute
code that has just ben loaded into the data segment. I typical
symptom of this not having been done is SIGILL as some random
instruction gets fed to the cpu. Historically, i386 has not needed
this, but I have noticed a tendency towards requiring this
functionality as computers have been evolving over the past few
years. mprotect is a generic syscall way to achieve the same end
without cpu specific assembly. It might work across the board -- I
have not had time to check.
Please keep me posted.
Take care,
