I don't have sparc64, but found a bug in 20.4.24 on powerpc64 that might affect other 64-bit big-endian arch (mips64 and sparc64). It's BROKEN-mips64, but the sparc64 snap has packages of clic and maxima with ecl-16.1.3.p3. The ecl update has been stuck because it breaks net/clic (as Solene said). In other ways, the update looks good to me. ecl-20.4.24 works on macppc, has the same number of failures as amd64: Did 245 tests (0 crashed), 17999 checks. Pass: 17912 (100%) Fail: 87 ( 0%) reed-alert seems to work on macppc. I didn't try maxima on macppc. For maxima on amd64, I replicated the test results that Timo posted, and I can run xmaxima. For the bug in 20.4.24 that broke my powerpc64, I need to write a bug report for upstream. ecl_min calls ecl_symbol_value() before init_all_symbols(); reads p = q->data.value too early; gets p == 2 on most arch, p == 0x200000000 on 64-bit big-endian; but if (p & 3) == 0 then ecl_min fails with SIGSEGV. (powerpc64 also needs a diff for lang/boehm-gc that I intend to share later.) --George
