If I _wasn't_ using my A500 for contiual binutils/glibc/gcc builds, I'd be testing out the SMP problems :) When running an SMP kernel and doing multiple compiles, the box was rather unsuable e.g. random process death. As Randolph noted to me on IRC, it looks like fixing the mmap issues we have would be a step in the right direction. When I get my current projects completed (glibc fixing)... I want to look at this :) then again, maybe I'll be doing glibc work for the rest of my usefull days ;) We also fail many of the LTP tests having to do with signals, mmap'ing, and direct IO. c.
