I think Racket won't work on ia64 because we never worked out how to deal with its multiple stacks. > mips' build failure > > ,-------------------------------------- > |make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jamessan/racket-5.1.3+dfsg1/build' > |env CFLAGS="-g -Wall -Wall " LDFLAGS="" racket/racket3m -X > "/home/jamessan/racket-5.1.3+dfsg1/debian/tmp/usr/share/racket/collects" -N > "raco setup" -l- setup -j 1 --no-docs --no-zo --no-user > |raco setup: bootstrapping from source... > |make[2]: *** [install-3m] Bus error (core dumped) > `-------------------------------------- > > and backtrace > > ,-------------------------------------- > |(gdb) bt > |#0 0x0060675c in syncing_ready (s=0x2dbf3220, sinfo=0x7fe4efc0) > | at /home/jamessan/racket-5.1.3+dfsg1/src/racket/gc2/../src/thread.c:5661 I'm not sure, but here are two things to try: * In "src/racket/gc2/newgc.c" around line 2601, force `generations_available' to 0: newgc->generations_available = 0; If something is going wrong with the write barrier, then disabling generational GC should allow the build to continue. * In "src/racket/gc2/sighand.c" around line 122, change # define USE_SIGACTON_SIGNAL_KIND SIGSEGV to # define USE_SIGACTON_SIGNAL_KIND SIGBUS to check whether page-protection failures trigger SIGBUS instead of SIGSEGV. I think this is unlikely to be the problem, but it may be worth checking. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
