Hey Laurent,
I have been using s6 for some time now to bring up and monitor services
in a custom embedded system. The system is built using buildroot and
(due to customer requirements) built with glibc 2.26.
When using buildroot 2017.08 (containing s6-rc 0.2.0.1, skalibs 2.5.1.1
and s6 2.6.0.0), I ran into the problem that one of my one-shot services
was _occasionally_ not successfully started. The "up" script looked like
this:
/bin/sh -c "
ko=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/co80.ko
echo insmod $ko
insmod $ko
echo Done!
"
I noticed in the kernel log that the module was in fact correctly
loaded, but s6 was stuck waiting for something (I noticed this process
when doing a "ps"):
1213 root s6-ipcserverd -1 -- s6-ipcserver-access -v0 -E -l0 -i
data/rules -- s6-sudod -t 2000 -- /usr/libexec/s6-rc-oneshot-run -l ../.. --
Around 1/10 boots, it got stuck here, the rest of them booted up just fine.
When buildroot 2017.11 was released, I was thrilled to see new versions
of s6 in it (s6-rc 0.3.0.0, skalibs 2.6.0.1 and s6 2.6.1.1), but when
booting up I immediately got a SIGFPE in s6-rc-init,... I ran it through
strace and the result can be seen here: http://steffe.net/s6-sigfpe.txt
It crashes at the exact same place if I re-run it, and it crashes every
time.
So what to do,... I found:
https://skarnet.org/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?1:mss:1099:201711
and decided to update to this version in my buildroot system instead,
but then I got a build error:

^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Oh happy days,... Any suggestions on any of the three different issues
and how to overcome? :o)
