I'm running the latest F18 nightly snapshot that I can find (17 Sept) fully updated via yum, on a Dreamplug.

When the system boots, it reports the following:

When I manually run /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd it immediately reports "Illegal instruction".

Running polkitd under gdb, it reports:

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0xb699c450 in _GLOBAL__sub_I_jsarray.cpp () from /lib/libmozjs185.so.1.0

Looking at the build log of js on Koji for armv5tel, all the c++ and gcc command lines have the option -march=armv7-a after the option -march=armv5te, so presumably the js package for armv5tel is actually being built for armv7.

The problem appears to be in the configure.in script where for any arm architecture, it sets MOZ_ARM_ARCH to armv7-a:

dnl Setup default CPU arch for arm target
AC_MSG_WARN([target cpu is ($target_cpu)])
case "$target_cpu" in
  arm*)
    MOZ_ARM_ARCH=armv7
  ;;
esac

Thanks, I was sure we'd fixed this some time ago <sigh> I'll push a fix to it shortly.

Peter
