Ditto re RPi, I'd expect most of the troubles will stem from it's ARMv6 rather than ARMv7 which V8 would like better. I had a go at adding some configure options ( https://github.com/adammw/node/commit/ae40b4d21a28108a7f437229a2204aadd079c959 ) but still can't get it to compile for it, and with no packages for raspbian available I'm a bit stuck on how to proceed. For those who have gotten it to compile ok, what build options / modifications did you use, and was that on a softfp or hard float operating system?
