Mark Millard <markmi at dsl-only.net> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation
<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to ruby at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 206664: lang/ruby21: miniruby gets bus error on arm that requires alignment
(SCTLR bit[1]==1); build fails
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206664



--- Description ---
To show the Bus Error details I show running the miniruby that the build had
produced directly under gdb:

The "vld1.64	{d16-d17}, [r3]" require 8 byte alignment for an armv7-a with
SCTLR bit[1]==1 but r3=0x2094e65c does not meet that criteria.

The original failure notices were:

But the .core files produced do not show the original Bus Error(s) so I showed
the run above instead.


Of note is that I'm working on a RPI2B and everything from
buildworld/buildkernel to ports in my build activities are targeting the
armv7-a/cortex-a7 that an RPI2B has, not a more generic armv6. Also I'm using
projects/clang380-import because clang++ 3.7.1 Bus Errors during most C++
compiles. 3.8.0 has a bunch of alignment fixes in it to allow use with SCTLR
Bit[1]==1 (and on sparc's that require alignment).

As for the details of targeting armv7-a and cortex-a7, I show some of the
checking output that shows the command's arguments for such:

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether /usr/bin/clang -target armv6--freebsd11.0-gnueabi
-march=armv7-a -mcpu=cortex-a7 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mno-unaligned-access accepts
-g... yes
checking for /usr/bin/clang -target armv6--freebsd11.0-gnueabi -march=armv7-a
-mcpu=cortex-a7 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mno-unaligned-access option to accept ISO
C89... none needed
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether /usr/bin/clang++ -target armv6--freebsd11.0-gnueabi
-march=armv7-a -mcpu=cortex-a7 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mno-unaligned-access accepts
-g... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /usr/bin/clang-cpp -target
armv6--freebsd11.0-gnueabi -march=armv7-a -mcpu=cortex-a7 -mfloat-abi=softfp
-mno-unaligned-access

My /usr/ports is at -r407323 on the RPI2B as I'm doing this activity.

Note: I was not directly trying to use ruby. I was just trying to do a ports
based install of portupgrade (that in turn depends on ruby).
