On a G5 machine -mpowerpc64, -force_cpusubtype_ALL, and -mcpu seem to coexist.[[BR]]
Yes, ''seem''. But you haven't tried hard (such as testing the library, at least the 64-bit version, on a different PowerPC machine). I will clarify.[[BR]] The test suite passed in 32 bit mode.[[BR]] The test suite passed in 64 bit mode.[[BR]] Since I only have access to the one G5 machine, such testing will have to suffice even if it does not qualify as having "tried hard."[[BR]] Is there any reason to believe this is not correct?
I'm reopening it since there's no reason not to fix the crash itself (which is annoying). I'm going to attach a patch. I would respectfully suggest that unless the patch is quite small, there is no reason for it.[[BR]] Correct me if I am wrong, but the crash is part of a normal test process.[[BR]] Code is run, it fails, and so the configure script knows not to run that code.[[BR]] The only issue is the minor and infrequent annoyance of CrashReporter telling you about the failure.
