Hello
AFAICS the memset.S in sysdeps/powerpc is broken for PowerPC
implementations with cache line sizes other than 8 words.
My current work-around is to delete this specific memset.S file. Is
there a smarter way of doing it?
I've heard that there are some ideas of using a variable (exported by
the OS kernel) to give glibc a chance to adapt itself to the cache line
size of the hardware. What's the status of this idea/project? Anybody
using it already?
TIA
Dave
