Hi David, I added the patch (locally) to the Debian 5.5.2 package; it now builds successfully on sid on mips (and still works on mipsel!) and passes the test suite! Thanks for tracking this down; I shall check it still works with the latest master. I?m also waiting on my S/390 5.5.2 build to finish; hopefully the patch fixes that crash too.
Unrelated: I filed https://github.com/polyml/polyml/pull/13 a few days ago; could you please review it? I noticed that my Debian package build script was in fact not running the test suite, and found out this was because it was running the check rule, which does nothing for Poly/ML. While I can override this default behaviour in the package build script, I thought it would be a good idea if Poly/ML followed the convention.
Thanks, James

Hi David, I had thought it might be something like that, but a quick glance through pexport didn?t enlighten me that much as I?m not familiar enough with the same codebase.
Those were the same elfexport properties I had. I will try building on Sid and see if it still crashes.
Thanks, James

James, I've committed a fix that solves the problem I found. Poly/ML now runs all the regression tests and will rebuild the compiler. I was going to try it in jessie (stable) but installing that is proving more difficult than I'd expected.
I've added configure and elfexport entries for Mips. Please feel free to update it if you like and add any other machines you manage to get working.
Regards, David
