[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] Commented: (ASTERISK-20128) Virtualized asterisk.org 1.8.14.0 no longer runs in a KVM virtualized environment. Compiles without error, but fails with Illegal instruction on launch Regression since 1.8.13.0 Last good 1.8.12.2

Brian Raynor commented on ASTERISK-20128:
-----------------------------------------

I was having the same problems mentioned above, trying to install PBX In A Flash 2.0.6.2 (32 bit) with Asterisk 1.8.13.0.  PIAF compiles Asterisk as part of the install.  

Running with KVM under ProxMox 2.1 on an AMD Athlon II X3 host (giving 1 vCPU/core to PIAF/Asterisk, 1 GB RAM), I constantly got the illegal instruction errors when trying to start Asterisk after the compile.  

Following the suggestion by Matt Jordan above, I used make menuselect during the PIAF install (prior to Asterisk compile of course) to turn OFF the BUILD_NATIVE flag.  I did not need to mess with CFLAGS at all. BUILD_NATIVE flag turned off was the ONLY change I made. 

With this, Asterisk starts successfully with NO issues.  Prior to doing this - I tried just about everything with no success.

Just wanted to confirm that this appears to have fixed things for me.  Haven't put any stress yet on Asterisk (will be doing so over the next few days to make sure things are stable before putting this system into production), but previously it wouldn't even start so seems like this has resolved my issues.
