[Mono-dev] Building Mono on Linux/Alpha

[Zoltan Varga]

                                      Hi,

  Do you mean all tests pass inside mono/tests as well ?

As for get_vcall_slot_addr, the amd64 version is complex because the amd64
backend generates many types of call sequences. It needs to handle the
machine code generated for the CALL_REG and CALL_MEMBASE opcodes.

As for string.format (), it is a pretty complex method, try looking at
its source code
and convert it into a self contained testcase, then try to simplify it
until you find
the root of the problem.
