[Mono-list] Problem with Mono on Arm target

[Spencer, Matthew]

Hi
 
I have just completed cross compiling mono-1.2.4 for an Arm target
(using the montavist pro 4 corss compilation toolkit that came with the
development platform).  I had to do a number of hacky things to the
configure script to make it work including '--with-gc=none' (I will try
and sort this problem out later).  It all compiles now fine, but I have
a problem when executing a simple test case that should output the
current time.
 
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception
was thrown by the type initializer for System.TimeZone --->
System.ExecutionEngineException: SIGILL
  at System.Collections.Hashtable..ctor (Int32 capacity, Single
loadFactor, IHashCodeProvider hcp, IComparer comparer) [0x00000]

/corlib/System/DateTime.cs:441 
  at test.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]
 
My initial thought is that there is a problem with static
initialization, can anyone shed some light on this problem?
 
Cheers
 
Matt
