Regression on 32-bit big-endian targets

Regression on 32-bit big-endian targets

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hello!

There seems to be a regression in guile that was introduced somewhere between the
3.0.2 and 3.0.4 which seems to affect 32-bit big-endian targets only [1]:

guild compile --target="hppa-unknown-linux-gnu"                \
          -W0 -O1              \

I'm currently bisecting the problem on a fast POWER server running a 32-bit Debian
powerpc installation and will hopefully report back soonish.

I'm posting this now just in case someone already can give me a pointer to the cause.

Bisecting lead me to this change which is probably just hiding the real
problem:

(sid_powerpc-dchroot)glaubitz@perotto:~/guile-git$ git bisect good
a68c80c747a2a8ec92fa84684ebd60b4ecb7ffa0 is the first bad commit
commit a68c80c747a2a8ec92fa84684ebd60b4ecb7ffa0
Author: Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
Date:   Mon May 11 15:22:29 2020 +0200

    Switch to baseline compiler for bootstrap/

    * bootstrap/Makefile.am (GUILE_OPTIMIZATIONS): Add -Ono-cps so that we
      use the baseline compiler when bootstrapping.

 bootstrap/Makefile.am | 2 +-
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
(sid_powerpc-dchroot)glaubitz@perotto:~/guile-git$

I'll try to bisect again with "-Ono-cps" removed after it is introduced.

FWIW, there is a big-endian PowerPC machine available in the gcc compile
farm if anyone wants to help track down this issue [1].

Looking at the source code, I assume the data packing fails on 32-bit
BE systems for some reasons.
