amdahl is an arm64 machine, and so doesn't support the SWP instruction directly in hardware. It was deprecated a long time ago, and was removed in most implementation of version 8 of the ARM architecture. There *is* support for emulating SWP in software, but it's not enabled on amdahl: 93sam@amdahl:~$ cat /proc/sys/abi/swp 0 That *can* be changed, but a better solution for now would be to use a machine with a v7 or earlier CPU (like abel). (I'm working on a distro-wide rebuild of armel on arm64 machines at the moment, hoping to publish results in a week or so.) -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
