[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#836415: nodejs: SIGILL when running nodejs

[Sam Imberman]

This is using nodejs 4.4.7 from sid:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/nodejs
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/powerpc-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".
[New Thread 0xb7fba450 (LWP 6224)]
[New Thread 0xb77ba450 (LWP 6225)]
[New Thread 0xb6fba450 (LWP 6226)]
[New Thread 0xb67ba450 (LWP 6227)]

Thread 1 "nodejs" received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x41418f28 in ?? ()
(gdb) x/i $pc
=> 0x41418f28:  fcfid   f1,f1
(gdb) x/x $pc
0x41418f28:     0xfc200e9c

Best,
Sam
