I've recently come into the possession of a PowerMac7,3 and have been cross-compiling a chroot for it on my (x86_64) desktop. However elfutils doesn't cross-compile for ppc64 due to its biarch m4 script which tries to execute a built program, so I kicked off a build locally and left for a few minutes. When I came back, I saw the below through netconsole, the fans were going full blast, and the machine was unresponsive.
Is this a kernel issue? Hardware issue? What do I need to do in order for the instruction dump to not be XXX's and have a call trace? (Is this the annoying security stuff in action? I started with the g5_defconfig, perhaps that was a mistake.) Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'm very new to ppc. In case it matters, it's booted on an nfsroot, no swap.
