I'm still trying to debug my PPC64 problem with GCL on Rawhide. I figured out how to get around the SELinux problem, built the software up to the point where it segfaults on the koji builder, installed gdb in the mock root, ran mock --shell, and did this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mock-chroot> gdb raw_pre_gcl GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (6.8.50.20081214-1.fc11) Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Segmentation fault mock-chroot> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I see a couple of things that concern me. First, I don't know why rpmdb is involved at all [1], but what's up with the "rpmdb: munmap: Invalid argument" line? Second, gdb segfaulted! I can't diagnose a GCL segfault with a segfaulting gdb. Does anyone have a Rawhide PPC64 machine running (i.e., not just mock)? If so, does gdb work there?
