Hi all,

Today's -current userland with yesterday's kernel seem to build and
run fine on macppc, but Xorg segfaults when it tries to dynamically
load a library:

--------------------------------------------------------

Simple (probably naive) test programs that simply call
__builtin_return_address(0) or call dlopen followed by dlsym
do not crash.

Anyone have any idea what could be wrong here?

That's the Xserver's module loader trying to ldopen() some module. Magnus Henoch posted a hack to get around it on port-macppc a while ago, it appears to be a compiler bug since Xorg is so far the only program where __builtin_return_address(0) fails occasionally.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix it properly.
The workaround works fine on at least sparc, sparc64, sgimips and shark though, maybe I should just commit it and add an entry to HACKS.

have fun
Michael

PS: this is macppc ( or likely powerpc ) specific so let's continue the on the appropriate list(s).
