Hi James,
I have access to a few machines but I don't think there's a PowerPC
among them. I don't know if it's possible to install qemu in Windows
and then run a PowerPC virtual machine in that. I currently use
VirtualBox to run various flavours of Linux and FreeBSD but of course
that only works for X86. If you can get me access to a real machine
that would certainly help.
I've already prepared a release of 5.7 and I'm inclined to go ahead with
that anyway. There will almost certainly be other bug fixes to include
so it's likely that 5.7.1 won't be that far ahead.
Regards,
David

Hi David, I can reproduce this (or at least a very similar issue)
seemingly every time on 32-bit PowerPC. All three of my uploads to
Debian failed to build on it (across different machines) and I can
reproduce it on another box. It happens with both jessie and
unstable; below is the state of all the threads when I built it on
unstable with two calls to "make compiler" followed by a "make check"
(though ./poly --script Tests/Succeed/Test166.ML also hangs, so the
test harness and running other tests first is irrelevant). Do you
have access to a PowerPC machine you can put Debian on? If not I can
probably arrange getting you remote access to one.
Regards, James
