It sounds like you aren't on a bare-metal sh4 machine, but rather that you are on a VM, and that your VM has tripped up on a qemu emulation bug. As such, the fix to your problem is to get the qemu folks to figure out why sh4 isn't being emulated correctly, and is not really something that m4 is at fault for (other than m4 managed to trigger the non-emulated syscall). -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
