This segfaulting is a bug in klibc that needs investigation.

I have no problem to merge this for Debian as workaround for now,
but this is not the solution. Effort in making shared binary
working too is appreciated. It is probably a wrong syscall API.

Thank you.

Hi maks,

Adding Anton in CC (who submitted klibc ppc64le support upstream [1]),
in case he can help.

I agree.
Thanks for accepting to carry the workaround for ppc64el too.

Unfortunately I don't find myself in klibc expertise area. I can try,
but maybe it's not the effective way forward (not sure I'd be able to
devote the effort/time that I personally would like to).
Hopefully others can contribute in that more significantly. :)

Thank you.

Give me a machine, and if I find any time (not very likely but
still), I'll have a look at it. I fixed most arches, except
Itanic (but that one's asm is just *too* strange) anyway.

ah, that reminds me, thanks for the stellar entertainment that you and certain
other people provide on the Debian mailing lists ? sole reason I subscribed to
them (I'm not using Debian anywhere) is the entertainment factor ? Debian
does
not strike me as a place for good humour, much less German admin-style humour
