Hi, I emulate SPARC with NetBSD 5.0 installed and I've experienced a problem with pkgsrc installing one of packages. I submitted bug report to NetBSD team and received short response suggesting it is likely QEMU problem (see original message below).
Shortly, the problem is that AWK throws "floating point exception" Here is the bug report with details: http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=44389 Given the nature of the problem, it "feels" the issue is unrelated to QEMU, but I'm not on position to judge the suggestion posted by NetBSD team is pointless. I have no idea how to isolate the problem on NetBSD, so I replied to NetBSD team asking: === Could you suggest how to isolate the problem, find exact awk command causing the error, so I can debug it or forward to QEMU developers with details necessary to reproduce it? === In the meantime, I thought I will attack qemu-devel hoping it may ring some bells here as well. Any ideas?
