Hrm, the setGlobalThreadCount() test crashes in a bizarre way in libthr; I can only reproduce this with 7.0-BETA4 and 7.0-PRERELEASE though. The whole test suite succeeds on 8.0-CURRENT and it also doesn't crash when running a 8.0-CURRENT kernel with the 7.0 userland on the same machine, which suggests that some important kernel fix in HEAD hasn't been MFC'ed, yet... > > In debugging it though, it seems that gdb doesn't support thread > debugging on sparc64 which is causing some problems... is this due to > the lack of TLS? No; most likely because it's not implemented, see libpthread_md.c. Marius
