Fw: Is anyone interested in getting PostgreSQL working on mips[el]?

Hackers,

I can confirm that HEAD does not initdb because of a SIGBUS as reported below by Martin Pitt @ debian (see his email
below). My build farm member (corgi) did pass all checks 6 days ago (I was having some issues with the build farm
code before that). If anyone would like to SSH into the box, please contact me via email and I will get an account
setup. Right now, I am trying to build 8.1 to see if it passes.

Thanks
Jim

Hi mips porters!

For a fair while now PostgreSQL (7.4, 8.0, 8.1) do not work at all on
mips and mipsel. The postmaster immediately dies with a SIGBUS.

It's pretty hard to track down, gdb stacktrace is unusable. Also, I
was not able to get it to work in any of the various gcc
version/optimization/PostgreSQL version/patch combinations I tried.
[1] has some details of my findings so far.

Thus I asked for removing the mips and mipsel debs for now until this
is fixed [2].

Is any mips expert interested to track this down?

Thanks,

Martin
