I assume I or my hardware is doing something stupid and obvious. I've been trying to successfully build OpenBSD for the first time on a 2002 G4 (Mirror Drive Door) dual 1ghz. The RAM is new, and slightly faster than the bus speed demands (pc3200 instead of pc2700). Processer is a PowerPC 7455B.

I am following the guide for building OpenBSD from source to the letter (Although a misread is not out of the question!). First I use cvs to checkout the sources for -CURRENT (Including Xenocara and Ports, but I've never gotten that far). The kernel builds fine, and I install it and reboot. On an earlier attempt, I verified it was installing properly by changing WS_KERNEL_BG.

I am starting from the latest snapshot and sources, and have tried multiple cvs revisions and gone through two latest snapshots.

Filebin link for the 7.3mb script log of my build attempt is here:http://filebin.ca/I1aLqmsKata/buildlog

I did use -j4, but the problem is the same without it. The result:

---

All executables installed before that give "Abort trap" signal 6 results. The system can barely be used, and once logout occurs, the system is hosed. No login is possible, nothing can be executed, single user mode does not work.

It looks like I am somehow getting broken executables and when ln is called after its installation, it aborts. I assume that line is the first time an installed executable is called, but I'm not sure why my executables are aborting.

It's still logged in if anyone has any ideas other than rm -rf /, which aborts :)
