problem with gnustep on OpenBSD sparc64

[Sebastian Reitenbach]

Hi,

since I had the question regarding the thread without answer: "problem with 
libobc1 on OpenBSD amd64 cannot find tconfig.h when compiling", I thought about 
trying it on sparc64. There I ended up with the same problem, no tconfig.h in 
config/sparc64/generic...

I copied the tconfig.h file from sparc, which is essentially the same as in the 
i386 into config/sparc64/generic, and it was compiling. However, I found that 
more or less all applications I tried are aborting with a core dump. I then 
tried to change the BITS_PER_WORD to 64, and reinstalled the old libobjc, but 
the abort stayed as is. I then uninstalled libobjc1, and just linked against 
the system libobjc from gcc-4.2.1.
Both with gnustep libobjc1 and gcc libobjc works well on i386. and also with 
the gnustep libobjc1, everything works well on sparc 32 bits.

in contrast to mips64, libffi seems to be fine on sparc64:

gnustep-back-0.20.1.

running for example AddressManager in gdb, leads to the attached backtrace. 
There I see the __smash_stack_handler is thrown:

more information in the attached backtrace and gdb output.


but I actually cannot see why? Does anybody has a clue?

gnustep-tests on gnustep-base is running right now.
BTW: does gnustep-tests has a parameter, where I can prevent it from cleaning 
up the binaries after the test? Its because I'd to have them around, when there 
are tests leaving a core file, so that I can easily examine the core file...
