Description Ben 2007-11-11 18:34:07 UTC

Tested using overlay keyword hack.

net-p2p/rtorrent will emerge and run cleanly on ia64.  I tried seeding and downloading.  The only caveat is that this application is not 64-bit aligned-access clean and will hence do unaligned accesses.  It emits a _LOT_ of kernel warnings such as:

rtorrent(20639): unaligned access to 0x60000000001031b5, ip=0x20000000003593d1

when doing network i/o.  I get at least 1 per second if not more, though it does not affect operation (use prctl to clean up, or someday I'll look into how to fix this after fully understanding how gcc emits code that triggers this).  Seems to be clean during hash checks, etc.

Not sure whether this level of cleanliness is sufficient for inclusion, but I'll put it here for consideration.

Reproducible: Always
