Some change between 3.19 and 4.0-rc1 has broken the FPE such that some code running on an Octeon II is subtly not working. eg. $ echo "1 2" | gawk '{ print $1 }' 1 2 which should output (and does output on 3.19) $ echo "1 2" | gawk '{ print $1 }' 1 I'm going to try bisecting this over the next few days. We've been here before... cf. http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2014-07/msg00431.html -- Paul Martin http://www.codethink.co.uk/ Senior Software Developer, Codethink Ltd.
