I've tried to compile linux 2.2.13 8xx with itself, the compilation start slowly, and after some times it crashs randomly after some operation. The NIP is always the same, it points in the libc-2.2.3.so file, but the content of this address displayed after a crash is wrong: *NIP=0, and generate a Floating point emulation, and linux crash. The 8xx board I use have only 32MB of memory and no swap. I don't know if this problem come from a lack of memory, or a complex page recovery problem. After turning the 8xx cache the problems goes on... It's not probably related to libc cache line changes.
If you can do complex operation like this without problem or if you have the same problem, let me know... Patrick LERDA ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
