Build Mono 1.9.1 on Cell processor (e.g a PS3)

[Didro]

Hello,

I've been trying to configure and make Mono 1.9.1 from source on PowerXCell 8i processor (such processors are deployed with PS3) with Fedora Core 7 OS.

I do ./configure --prefix=/home/user001/mono-1.9.1 --target=ppc-linux (I also try to configure and make without specifying the --target argument)

I have:

 mcs source:    $(top_srcdir)/mcs
        olive source:

        GC:          included
        TLS:         __thread
        SIGALTSTACK: yes
        Engine:      Building and using the JIT
        2.0 Beta:    yes
        2.1 Alpha:   yes
        JNI support: IKVM Native
        libgdiplus:  assumed to be installed
        zlib:

        oprofile:    no

When I do make, I have:

mcs /codepage:65001   -d:NET_1_1 -d:ONLY_1_1 -d:BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB -debug -target:exe -out:mcs.exe cs-parser.cs  @mcs.exe.sources
** Message: Unknown errno: Unknown error 8192

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.

What should I do? Please help. Thank you in advance.

A friend of mine set up a hypothesis that interpretation of the problem is that it's the distribution's pre-installed mono c# compiler which crashes while compiling the new compiler.

Should I try to install earler version of mono ? Does smbd struggle with such problem ?
Thank you
