This is my guess. If I could get access to a system, I could provide
more information. Any idea of when sid chroots on escher (or other)
might become available again?
This code built quite recently on alpha. I'm particularly interested
in mips and alpha, as they test new bfd object relocation code put
into gcl recently. I'd like to make sure there is no regression here,
though I suspect none.
If there were a problem here, you would see it before raw_pcl_gcl.
There is noting this binary does but run some very simple
initialization code, and then dump its image with unexec. saved_gcl
and saved_mod_gcl, already produced, use the same dumping code, so I
don't suspect anything here either.
It appears that some constant specifying the syscall has gotten messed
up on alpha.
If I can get access, I'd be happy to test. Otherwise, here is what
needs doing:
./configure --enable-ansi -enable-debug && make
(get to stuck part; if this does not stick, then add --enable-gprof
and let me know.)
cd unixport
make raw_pcl_gcl
gdb raw_pcl_gcl
(gdb) r ./
Come to think of it, this bug might have just appeared on alpha too:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387498
But you should have seen this earlier, I'd think.
Take care,
