A workaround is to bump down from hal-0.5.10
(In reply to comment #1) > A workaround is to bump down from hal-0.5.10 This wasn't hal-0.5.10 - it happens with hal-0.5.9.1-r3. But I've also tried hal-0.5.10. It works with hal-0.5.7.1-r5..
Works for me with 0.5.9.1-r3, didn't work with 0.5.10 (on AMD64).
Can you please test the new snapshot I've just commited and let me know if you still get the issue? If you don't please close as fixed.
