miniruby segfaults when attempting to install lang/ruby19 or lang/ruby20 on ppc64

[Harry Weppner]

Hi,

I brought an older dual G5 Powermac back to life and installed FreeBSD 10.0-RC4 on it with a GENERIC ppc64 kernel. When installing lang/ruby19 or lang/ruby20 miniruby segfaults in libthr. Tested with both the default gcc42 as well as with gcc49.

Has anyone seen this issue before? T

Thanks & cheerio, Harry.
