Still no improvement, but I know how to fix it :-)
The reason lies in char being unsigned on powerpc by default unlike on other architectures. This seems to be true for gchar as well. display_calendar() in calendar_fullyear.c defines calendar_table, d, and tmpbuf to be gchar. In line 113 calendar_table is initialized to -1 which is 255 on powerpc because gchar is unsigned. Later on there is also a comparision 'd < 0' which can never be true on powerpc. If I replace the gchar into 'signed char' it works. > Note: #465182 is not yet known to be fixed, so you might have to start > osmo with "LANG=C LC_ALL=C osmo" or comment out line 1637 in calendar.c If I have some more time, I'll try to look into this as well.
