You have been asking questions about this stuff that seem to ignore the fact |
6 |
that we don't support n32. |

The problem is that none of us have answers for your questions, therefore we |
13 |
*can't* tell you what the problem is. Generally, n32 is so broken that the |
14 |
developer team can't even use it. The multithreaded bug is a horribly painful |
15 |
one that only somebody with good kernel hacking skills can fix, for example. |
16 |
Any other bugs you may hit are just extra broken stuff that add to n32's |
17 |
unusability. Add to that the fact some senior mips kernel and glibc |
18 |
developers have told me that our toolchain and glibc are old enough |
19 |
(relatively speaking) that they are surprised n32 works at all for us. There |
20 |
isn't much we can do about this until newer versions are pushed forward in |
21 |
portage. |

Fix the n32 multithreaded kernel bug and we'll talk (see |
29 |
http://beerandrocks.net:8080/~spbecker/oops/). Until then, you are just |
30 |
complaining about problems we can't help you with. Furthermore, you started |
31 |
this thread with complaining about your shmem problem, and only additional |
32 |
questioning from Redhatter revealed that it was a n32 specific problem (as so |
33 |
many are when you are playing with unsupported stuff like this). From now on, |
34 |
you need to specify what sort of userland, as well as what kernel version(s) |
35 |
you reproduced it with before we can even begin to help you. |
