Hi,
It appears that the netbsd-1-6 tree as of yesterday is not working.
Starting with NetBSD 1.6.2, if I build a new copy of the OS and try to
chroot into it, many things will work, but some will not. For instance:
# cvs login
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
# sysstat vmstat
Illegal instruction
# vi
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
Other binaries, like ifconfig, top, fortune, and ping work.
The problem seems to be with ld.elf_so; if I replace it with the older
one, everything works. Running the new ld.elf_so with a kernel compiled
from the same source tree doesn't help (as I found out the hard way; I'm
glad this happened on the machine colocated here in Los Angeles, as
opposed to the one in New York City: 14 miles as compared with 2500).
Anyone know what's broken?
John Klos
