#9053: BUG gmp: crash in config.guess due to mfpvr instruction ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: vincent-opdarw@… | Owner: gwright@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Low | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gmp | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment(by vinc17@…): FYI, I tried trapping SIGILL in the past, but this didn't fix the problem (I suppose that the kernel doesn't have a way to know that SIGILL is trapped...). Now, I'm wondering... What MacPorts is supposed to do concerning binaries? Produce binaries that can only run on the local machine? But in such a case, this is a bit contrary to universal support. Or produce binaries that can run on any declared architecture? For instance, any PowerPC-based machine if PowerPC is declared. In the latter case, GMP's config.guess should be patched to avoid particular CPU detection (as a side effect, this would avoid the crash in config.guess). One could test to see whether binaries would be significantly slower. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/9053#comment:15> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
