I thought as much. Also, let me guess: if you update in IUCODE_TOOL_INITRAMFS=yes, the "hle" flag doesn't disappear. It also explains the illegal opcode exceptions if libpthread-2.19 is using Intel TSX for lock elision... which looks likely. Note that even if "hle" was removed from the processor flags, it would still crash running processes. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
