Thank you for filing bug about this!

Do you want to submit your patch/fix upstream? If so let me know if I can help you with that. Generally I'm not going to apply any patches that have not been accepted upstream, but I'm also interesting in actually getting this fixed upstream.

By the way, have you tried using vfp3 argument for the Makefile? I see flags like v8_can_use_vfp3_instructions and v8_can_use_vfp2_instructions, so maybe the infrastructure is already in place.

Oh, and so it seems you've found hardfloat does not imply vfp3, right? That's definitely a v8 bug.
Comment 3 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-11-05 08:39:35 UTC
The patch makes the build complete successfully.
I reported issue 2393 upstream.

Thank you. Upstream is waiting for you to sign the CLA.
Comment 5 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-12-11 00:59:08 UTC
I signed the CLA, but no reaction from upstream so far.

Thank you for reporting this, now fixed in CVS.
Comment 8 Matt Whitlock 2013-03-18 12:38:23 UTC
I encountered the same problem (Illegal instruction) while building dev-lang/v8-3.16.14.2 on the Raspberry Pi until I added "vfp3=off" to the emake command line. Probably the ebuild should have IUSE+="+vfp3" and the emake like should have $(use vfp3 || echo "vfp3=off").

Please report a new bug for any new issues that arose since the original bug was fixed.

v8-3.16.14.2-armv7-vfp3.patch

Note, you also have to disable ARMv7 instructions when building on the Raspberry Pi. These changes to the ebuild did the trick for me.
