I was able to get an AArch64 installation running with Qemu, and I think I've found the main problem with these failing builds.
The end of "gc2.h" has a preprocessor test for `__x86_64__` or `WIN64`, but it should have been a more general test for `SIXTY_FOUR_BIT_INTEGERS`. With that repair, the AArch64 build still fails for me due to a GC problem. If I disable generational GC, then the build seems ok. I think I've had trouble in the past, where the signal handlers that implement the write barrier didn't work correctly inside Qemu. The problem might not be Qemu-specific, though, and I'm interested to hear whether the "gc2.h" change to use `SIXTY_FOUR_BIT_INTEGERS` fixes the problem on real machines. Here's the commit to fix "gc2.h": https://github.com/plt/racket/commit/0cda0c98b085dc289bbb40cb37325042b35eea07 At Mon, 29 Jun 2015 21:58:12 -0400, James McCoy wrote: > On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 02:44:46AM +0200, Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado > wrote: > > Similar bug: > http://bugs.racket-lang.org/query/?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=default&pr=1 > 5079 > > > > David, Debian has some machine with those architectures available to give > > shell accounts to upstream developers?.
