Description Edward Tomasz Napierala freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2008-11-23 14:40:00 UTC 
Right now, devel/glib20 port is built with slower, mutex-based variant of g_atomic_whatever routines, instead of assembler-based ones.  This is slower and possibly unreliable, as there are semantical differences between the two (mutex-based versions may deadlock).  This breaks audio/ardour and possibly other applications.

Fix would be to patch the configure script to set host_cpu to "i486" instead of "i386".  This would break glib20 on a real i386, though.

FYI: We don't have to worry about i386, since it's not support by FreeBSD.

As for gets it compiled with mutex-based implementation of atomic ops, I  
can't comment on it. I don't know anything about it. Although it does  
sound good. I will let marcus, bland or whomever to take care of it.

Cheers,
Mezz

Thank you; fix works just fine.
