Bug#980943: mipch: mpirun segfaults on s390x

[Nicholas Breen]

Package: mpich
Version: 3.4-5
Severity: important
User: debian-s390 at lists.debian.org

Affects: gromacs


Hi,

mpirun from mpich 3.4-5 (and possibly other versions, this is the only one I
tested) segfaults immediately on s390x:

  % mpirun -V
  host: zelenka
  zsh: segmentation fault  mpirun -V

It is reproducible after recompiling locally, in a sid chroot.  Very compact
backtrace of an unstripped/unoptimized version:

(gdb) run -V
Starting program: /home/nbreen/mpich-3.4/debian/tmp/usr/bin/mpiexec.hydra -V
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
host: zelenka

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
