I don't know if anyone's been able to get you access to a mips box, but I've been able to reproduce the problem on my system. I believe it may be related to the lack of an FPU on the buildd machine. In fact, I have been able to come up with a simple testcase that causes yorick to fail with a segmentation fault, both on the version in sid as well as the version currently in etch. My simple test is to start yorick up interactively, and enter: 5.0 / 0.0 at the prompt. On a mips (or mipsel) box without an FPU, this causes a segmentation fault. With an FPU, it catches a SIGFPE and allows me to enter debug mode. I don't know the configuration of the mips buildd machines, but I suspect the ones that yorick has been built on in the past have had FPUs, and the one that it was just built on did not. I have posted a message to the linux-mips mailing list asking about this. Hopefully, somebody there will be able to provide some insight. http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2010-05/msg00005.html Shane McDonald -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
