System: NetBSD rpi.pocketservices.de 7.0.1 NetBSD 7.0.1 (RPI) #1: Sat Jun 4 10:37:02 CEST 2016 root@rpi.pocketservices.de:/usr/obj/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/RPI evbarm
Architecture: earm
Machine: evbarm
>Description:
Build process of nodejs fails at the point where mksnapshot is called (SIGSEGV).

>How-To-Repeat:
Use an RPI and the latest patched version of nodejs 6.2.0 from pkgsrc
cd pkgsrc/lang/nodejs; make
wait some hours, see the SIGSEGV


>Fix:
adding --without-snapshot seems to help. Looks like a bug in the current
V8 implementation. Maybe we can also find the root problem. Using snapshots
would be greatly beneficial especially on a slow platform like the RPI.

 What version ARM processor is this? What version of ARM processor
 does the package think it is?
 I seem to recall something about synchronization primitives in
 ARMv6 and below being problematic.

 Is this failing in compilation or at runtime?.. I'm confused
 If at build, is it running out of memory? (should show up in dmesg)
