Bugs: ASTERISK-21763
    https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-21763


Repository: Asterisk


Description
-------

Asterisk was killed by SIGBUSes on Jeremy Kisters' Sparc.

One of the problems was that the STDIO file structures were getting misaligned because of some compatibility code.

A Mozilla bug report on the Debian tracker provides lots of useful info.

I added comments[1] in the asterisk.exports.in file so we wouldn't forget what that strange entry is doing there.

Testing

See bug reports: ASTERISK-21763 and ASTERISK-21665.

Note that this doesn't fix all the problems on the Sparc, but it's a start.


Thanks,
