On sparc64, rsync and ssh are broken due to fault addresses containing |
| 17 |
extra context data that is used incorrectly higher in the kernel. For |
| 18 |
installation purposes, rsync and ssh are quite important. This is fixed |
| 19 |
in 4.8, but i ended up just taking that patches out of 4.8 and applying |
| 20 |
them to 4.7.4 via epatch user. |
