Hi,
as mentioned elsewhere, I built quite some packages, one is ghostscript,
always useful (and dependency of many).
legolas: {23} gs
GPL Ghostscript 10.05.1 (2025-04-29)

Bus error
Window comes up briefly, then dies.
What does gdb say?
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0xeadc62b4 in _sparcv9_vis1_probe () from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.15
(gdb) bt
#0 0xeadc62b4 in _sparcv9_vis1_probe () from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.15
#1 0xead130c0 in OPENSSL_cpuid_setup () from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.15
this worries me a little: the crash appears inside libcrypto, which is
in base system, not a package.
Appears a bad cpu detection. This issue could thus affect a lot more
than just gs, or am I wrong?
