I'm attempting to use buildroot to cross compile guile 3.0.2 for 32bit arm (rpi3). Note that guile runs fine with the jit disabled by GUILE_JIT_THRESHOLD=-1 When guile starts, I get an "Illegal instruction". # GUILE_JIT_LOG=3 guile jit: allocated code arena, 0x74f43000-0x74f83000 jit: mcode: 0x74f43000,+44 jit: mcode: 0x74f43030,+56 jit: mcode: 0x74f43070,+8 jit: vcode: start=0xa2261c,+6 entry=+0 jit: Instruction first seen at vcode 0xa2261c: instrument-entry jit: Instruction at vcode 0xa2261c: instrument-entry jit: Instruction first seen at vcode 0xa22624: assert-nargs-ee jit: Instruction at vcode 0xa22624: assert-nargs-ee jit: Instruction first seen at vcode 0xa22628: subr-call jit: Instruction at vcode 0xa22628: subr-call jit: Instruction first seen at vcode 0xa2262c: handle-interrupts jit: Instruction at vcode 0xa2262c: handle-interrupts jit: Instruction first seen at vcode 0xa22630: return-values jit: Instruction at vcode 0xa22630: return-values jit: mcode: 0x74f43080,+200 jit: created /tmp/perf-287.map jit: entering mcode: 0x74f43080 Illegal instruction I got cross-gdb working.
