	Can you build libthr and nspr with debug symbols? Even if it doesn't
	trigger an assert gdb backtrace would be more verbose.

	  $ cd /usr/src/lib/libthr; make all install DEBUG_FLAGS='-g'

done

	  $ cd /usr/ports/devel/nspr; make install WITH_DEBUG=

	Also try disabling pthread_getschedparam in devel/nspr.

Ok, about devel/nspr - it fails tests.
Here's what I did:

# pwd 
/usr/ports/devel/nspr
# cat files/patch-ia64-disable-pthread_getschedparam
--- ../pr/src/pthreads/ptthread.c~

  */
# 

Fine so far, right?

I build WITH_DEBUG=, the log is:

http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/nspr-build.log

By the way, can I check just from the build log
that I indeed used WITH_DEBUG= ? Is it the
"-UDEBUG  -DNDEBUG=1" tokens?

I never paid much attention to this port, so
I never run the tests before. So I don't know
if they always failed on ia64, or it is a new thing.

Anyway, the test log:

http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/nspr-test.log

There are 2 failures:

     libfilename			FAILED
	libfilename:	PR_GetLibraryFilePathname failed
	libfilename:	FAIL

            peek			FAILED
	peek:	Running the test with local threads
	peek:	PR_Connect failed

and then "socket" test appears to hang. YOu can
see in the log that I started tests at night, and
by the morning, the socket was still there.

Here's the ps -axwwdd trace:

http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/nspr-test-hang

95023  5  S+    0:00.37 |        `-- ./socket

I reinstalled devel/nspr anyway, and will now
try to rebuild freebsd-gecko/www/firefox.
I'll report back.
 
Thank you
Anton

P.S. I wonder why the src and ports folk
don't agree on a single debug variable. Right
now it's DEBUG_FLAGS='-g' in src and WITH_DEBUG=
in ports. Is it for a good reason?
