Folks:
So I've tracked down my "exmh won't run after installing the XF86
4.3 libraries on my Ultra5" to what looks to be a toolchain issue.
THe short of the story is that wish (the Tcl shell) is killed by
the kernel fairly early on in the process lifetime as a result of
an illegal instruction fault (always in the same place).
Here's the traceback I get from gdb:
$ gdb `which wish` wish8.3.core
GNU gdb 5.0nb1
[...]
This GDB was configured as "sparc64--netbsd"...(no debugging symbols found)...
Core was generated by `wish8.3'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.

This happens to be in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib/common/ximcp.so.2,
which is loaded at 0x40cac000, so it's offset 0x120980. At first, I
figured it was either cache or ld.elf_so lossage, maybe related to the
cache. But looking further, it appears that ximcp.so.2 shared object
is actually hosed...
$ objdump -R /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib/common/ximcp.so.2 | fgrep 120980
0000000000120980 R_SPARC_JMP_SLOT _XimCheckIMMode
Which makes sense given where this call trace is coming from in the X11
library sources (xsrc/xfree/xc/lib/X11/imRm.c, ~ line 2554).
Poking at the PLT in the ximcp.so.2 shared object, it looks like parts of
the PLT are zorched, though, containing only zeroes instead of the expected
entries, like so:
$ objdump -D --start-address=0x120900 --stop-address=0x120a00 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib/common/ximcp.so.2
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/lib/common/ximcp.so.2: file format elf64-sparc

So the PLT entry we were looking for, at 0x120980, is indeed all zeroes,
and therefore it's not surprising the program dies with an illegal instr.
fault.
Anyone seem this type of lossage before? A quick glance through the
Oracle of Google didn't find anything interesting, but it was a real
quick look.
Thanks,
