Fw: Is anyone interested in getting PostgreSQL working on mips[el]?

From

Hackers,

I can confirm that HEAD does not initdb because of a SIGBUS as reported below by Martin Pitt @ debian (see his email 
below).  My build farm member (corgi) did pass all checks 6 days ago (I was having some issues with the build farm 
code before that).  If anyone would like to SSH into the box, please contact me via email and I will get an account 
setup.  Right now, I am trying to build 8.1 to see if it passes.

Thanks
Jim

Hi mips porters!

For a fair while now PostgreSQL (7.4, 8.0, 8.1) do not work at all on
mips and mipsel. The postmaster immediately dies with a SIGBUS.

It's pretty hard to track down, gdb stacktrace is unusable. Also, I
was not able to get it to work in any of the various gcc
version/optimization/PostgreSQL version/patch combinations I tried.
[1] has some details of my findings so far.

Thus I asked for removing the mips and mipsel debs for now until this
is fixed [2].

Is any mips expert interested to track this down?

Thanks,

Martin

I cannot confirm this - the mipsel box I have on the buildfarm
(lionfish) seems to be happyily building all branches and completing
make check.

Stefan,

well that is good news, can you tell me what version of linux you are using and what gcc version also.  I will let
Martin know.

Thanks

first i would ask you to fix your mailserver setup because my last Mail 
to you bounced with:

550 5.0.0 Sorry we don't accept mail from Austria

which makes it rather difficult for me to reply to your personal mail

lionfish is a stock Debian/Sarge box (a cobalt cube) with gcc 3.3.5.

Stefan,

My mail admin has removed the Austria block, I guess we were getting spammed by some one there.  Can you send the
output
of dpkg --list, so I can compare what packages you are using to what I have.

Thanks
Jim

Martin is probably trying this on unstable, which means new
binutils, glibc and gcc-3.3.

Toolchain looks like this on unstable:
libc6-dev 2.3.5-11
linux-kernel-headers 2.6.13+0rc3-2
binutils 2.16.1cvs20051214-1
gcc-3.3 3.3.6-12
gcc-3.4 3.4.5-1
gcc-4.0 4.0.2-6

Where stable/sarge has:
libc6-dev 2.3.2.ds1-22
linux-kernel-headers 2.5.999-test7-bk-17
binutils 2.15-6
gcc-3.3 3.3.5-13
gcc-3.4 3.4.3-13 (which you probably don't use)

I see that also,  What I am testing now, it downgrading gcc to the sarge versions.  If it works on testing then I know
it's a gcc issue.
