Working with lucas, I've successfully been able to build ruby1.9. The issue is related to NPTL support in the kernel. NPTL on HPPA is extremely unstable it seems, and currently causes anything that uses to threads to go boom under some cirmstances. Some versions of the kernel however appear to work. I had a successful build with a machine with the following uname
Linux gsyprf11 2.6.22.19 #1 SMP Sat Apr 5 18:55:33 PDT 2008 parisc64 GNU/Linux The test suite passes successfully, although it does take an extremely long time to build. cpuinfo is as follows: processor : 0 cpu family : PA-RISC 2.0 cpu : PA8700 (PCX-W2) cpu MHz : 750.000000 model : 9000/800/A500-7X model name : Crescendo 750 W2 hversion : 0x00005e30 sversion : 0x00000491 I-cache : 768 KB D-cache : 1536 KB (WB, direct mapped) ITLB entries : 240 DTLB entries : 240 - shared with ITLB bogomips : 1495.04 software id : 824930630 processor : 1 cpu family : PA-RISC 2.0 cpu : PA8700 (PCX-W2) cpu MHz : 750.000000 model : 9000/800/A500-7X model name : Crescendo 750 W2 hversion : 0x00005e30 sversion : 0x00000491 I-cache : 768 KB D-cache : 1536 KB (WB, direct mapped) ITLB entries : 240 DTLB entries : 240 - shared with ITLB bogomips : 1495.04 software id : 824930630 I uploaded the results to ~ncommander-guest/ruby1.9 on alioth. The 219kb build.log is available.
