Hello!
Looking at the http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/todo.html today, I was
surprised to not see the following problems in addition to the em(4) issue:
. devel/nspr's self test fails: the forktest executable complains
about a bug in pthread. Using libthr seems to work, but that is
not the default configuration. To reproduce:
cd /usr/ports/devel/nspr
make build test
. when the devel/icu port is built with threading support (currently
off for this reason), its self-tests crash randomly on ia64. marcel
is aware of the problem with threads on ia64 *in general* and is
working on it... To reproduce (on ia64):
cd /usr/ports/devel/icu
make config ;# Enable threads
make
. building devel/icu on i386 with an optimization flags lower than
-O2, reveals a bug in the compiler toolchain -- a bogus symbol is
inserted into an object file. The problem strikes sometimes and
appears to depend on the number of string literals in the source
file. To reproduce, edit the port's Makefile to change the -O flag
modification from -O2 to "-O0 -g" and try to build the port.
Yours,
-mi
