Myself: On SPARC the alignment issues are making me dumb. I have to suspend my Xorg-sparc ddx_wrapper activities for an indefinite time frame. It's so messy all over the place, e.g.: Running: Xsun (process id 1865) dbx: internal error: signal SIGSEGV (no mapping at the fault address) dbx's coredump will appear in /tmp Abort (core dumped) # LD_PRELOAD_32=/export/home /bochnig/libXorg.so:/usr/openwin/server/lib/libmi.so.1__2.6:./shim.o mdb /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun ld.so.1: mdb: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/openwin/server/lib/libmi.so.1__2.6: symbol endtab: referenced symbol not found Killed # LD_PRELOAD_32=/export/home/bochnig/libXorg.so:./shim.o mdb /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun > ::run mdb: stop on SIGSEGV mdb: target stopped at: libc.so.1`strlen+0x50: ld [%o2], %o1 mdb: You've got symbols!
