I built them using --with-arch=octeon+ so they won't work on other HW. But there isn't any magic in my binaries. If you have a working 64-bit Linux MIPS system (with GCC and make) you can easily try my test case: - compile Linux 4.6 with THP (always enabled) and 4KB page size (preferably using GCC >= 4.9.3) - boot with the new kernel & log in - execute the following commands: curl -O http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.22.2.tar.gz tar xf perl-5.22.2.tar.gz cd perl-5.22.2 sh Configure -de -Dprefix=/usr -Dcc=gcc && make && make test If this passes without odd crashes or hangs (which I highly doubt), please post the output of: grep thp /proc/vmstat A.
