So if qemu's emulation were at fault, then one would expect more wide-spread
problems and a generally unstable system.
While -mabi=64 is not the default in user-space, it IS the way the linux
kernel is built and thus should be well tested.
Except that it does not use floating point operations.

I probably spoke too quickly in defense of qemu.
I forgot that the reason I have a weird lenny/etch-and-a-half system for mips64 is that I can't boot later kernels.
My mips32 on the other hand is "pure" squeeze.

I've commited a
"fix". It makes the failures change.

I'll retest my mips64 from svn trunk and report back my findings.



Building from the trunk w/ CFLAGS="-march=5kc -mabi=64" I no longer see any test failures.
Thanks, Samuel!

I do see, from hwloc-hello:
*** The number of sockets is unknown
*** Logical processor 0 has 0 caches totaling 0KB
IFF there is reason to expect better from this system, I'd be happy to work w/ somebody on fixing that.
