liboil crashes with SIGILL on some IXP4xx systems. Here is Debian's bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410859 I can observe the problem on my nslu2, when trying to use pulseaudio 0.9.5-r4. When linked with liboil 0.3.10 pulseaudio crashes instantly (just try to run pulseaudio -nC, or "strace pulseaudio -nC" in order to see that illegal instruction is the reason). Funny enough both liboil and pulseaudio are stable on arm. I have applied the patch from the above linked debian bug report to liboil 0.3.10-r1 and recompiled. Now pulseaudio works. I am willing to test if someone makes an ebuild.
emerge --info please.
Welcome: (not that I think it really matters here ... Note that it is quite clear what is the bug, and that thisis a bug in liboil, upstream.)
