[Mono-dev] failed to build on MIPS/Linux

[Rayson Ho]

I am trying to build Mono 2.4 (also tried the latest svn source tree)
on MIPS/Linux, specifically the low-cost Loongson processor platform.
I worked around a linking issue by passing the "--with-tls=pthread"
flag to configure, and now I am stuck at this runtime problem during
make:

# /home/rayson/mono-svn/mono/mono/mini/mono
../mcs/class/lib/net_1_1/mcs.exe /codepage:65001 -optimize -d:NET_1_1
-d:ONLY_1_1 -debug -out:convert.exe convert.cs -r:AgilityPack.dll

** ERROR **: _wapi_collection_init: Couldn't create handle collection
thread: Invalid argument
aborting...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I googled again, and found that a similar problem was reported before:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470336

I am wondering what is the status of 471871, and also what is the best
way to debug problems like this??

(And BTW, I couldn't get the stack trace from gdb...)

Thanks,
Rayson
