Hello! I'm a co-maintainer for the pl (SWI Prolog) package in Fedora.
The latest package is breaking when we try to build it on ppc64, and
we'd like some help in figuring out why. Here's a recent Koji build
that failed:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=472959
As part of the build process, a Prolog interpreter is created and is
then used to bootstrap the rest of the build. On i386, x86_64, and
ppc, this works fine, but on ppc64 the interpreter segfaults the first
time it is used (as shown in the logs linked above).
Neither I nor the primary maintainer have any experience with or
access to ppc64 machines, so we'd appreciate any help you can give in
figuring out what's going on here.
Please CC me on any responses as I'm not subscribed to this list.
Thanks very much!
MEF
