Make of this patch what you want. Iâve not gotten anything from the
Linux/m68k porters other than âwhat do you do if the syscall does not
exist?â with no solution. (On the other hand, it exists with every Linux
kernel from 2.6.34 onwards or Debian 2.6.32; and older systems wonât support
the last few eglibc major releases anyway, so chances are low someoneâs
trying PHP on such systems. And the patch keeps the #error for non-Linux
systems.)

Iâve built 5.4.0 with a small patch. Weâre working on getting it usable for
upstream inclusion. On Linux/m68k, one uses a syscall for compare-and-swap 32
bit, as some CPUs do not support the machine instruction and probing for it is
too tricky in user space. The syscall was introduced along with TLS support,
now we probably need to safeguard this from being compiled on âtoo oldâ
Linux systems. The patch doesnât address nÅn-Linux m68k, as those are
different beasts, and see above. (The ColdFire does not support the
instruction, and Linux and MiNT may very well both run on one with MMU,
soonish.)

OK; in the meantime Iâll try building without FPM, to see whether there are
any other lurking issues on m68k. Thanks for the help with this.

Thanks again. It's been good to triage this down. :)
I'll let Jérôme figure out what he wants to do here, since he's the FPM
maintainer. I think your list of options pretty much covers it.

Heh, your comment made me go and read the old changelogs
of the Debian package on a guess, and I guessed right:
php5 (5.3.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Build the FPM SAPI (Closes: #603174)
So this was simply never built before. Now there are two
possibilities, disable FPM on m68k (unless gcc-4.7 or up
is used) or ask the m68k porters for an implementation
of the atomic things. I think. If youâve got a better
idea, do tell.
By the way, thereâs libatomic-ops-dev, which contains a
number of atomic primitives and composed operations on a
number of data types (but the catch is, youâve got to use
the data types of libatomic-ops-dev, not e.g. like mesa
have a function atomic_dec which is passed an int32_t*
so itâs not a plug-in replacement. That might be more
interesting than hacking in m68k support now, and support
for $next_arch laterâ¦
m68k atomic operations apparently have another twist: the
compare-and-swap operation only exists on some processors,
and not in the Coldfire line, so the Linux kernel got a
syscall now to ensure atomicity. GCC 4.7 uses the syscall;
most âinlinedâ application code doesnâtâ¦
