I am doing native compiles on an SGI Octane (which I currently maintain the patchset for out-of-tree). I was only using static linking with Busybox, which is why ash was producing the flaw. I tried implementing the fix described in old uClibc Bug #3919, but that had no effect and the SIGSEGV is still reproducible. For now, I've simply switched Busybox to use shared linking to resolve the problem, which should be fine with the netboot, since all of its utilities are built from the same chroot. Just trying to work up a fix for compiling rpcbind now, since a dependent library, libtirpc requires a non-existant header "rpcsvc/yp_prot.h", but there's a patch on the OpenWRT ML that might fix this. Does uclibc-ng have a working Bugzilla yet? Might seem prudent to copy the details of Bug #3919 from old uClibc since it might be the same bug or related. >> That said, I think I might have an idea.

I am running Gentoo for my builds, so testing master isn't easy for me at the moment, since to be sure of things, I'd have to run a full rebuild and that would take a day or two due to gcc's compile time (~16 hours on a dual 600MHz R14000 CPU). What kind of SGI gear do you have available and what CPUs are in them? I can vouch that SGI O2 (IP32) with R5K and RM7K CPUs work (not R10K/R12K), SGI Octane (IP30), and marginally, SGI Origin 2000/Onyx2 (IP27) should all at least work with current Linux, although IP27 and IP30 will require an external set of patches I have (and IP27 may lock up at random). The older SGI Indy and Indog2 series w/ R4K/R5K CPUs should also still work, but I have not tested those recently due to a bad RTC chip in my Indy. Other Indigo2 variants may or may not work depending on CPU. -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS ku...@gentoo.org 6144R/F5C6C943 2015-04-27 177C 1972 1FB8 F254 BAD0 3E72 5C63 F4E3 F5C6 C943 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
