Created attachment 195063 [details] mono-aarch64.patch I don't know why I did this, I'm not even planning to use .NET on my RPi3, I guess it was just bothering me that it worked on armv7 and not aarch64… (also I needed to do something in parallel while Crystal was compiling on the ThunderX I rented from packet.net) Hopefully I didn't screw anything up (I was modifying the port as errors appeared, did not clean and rebuild from scratch — it's slow and access to a ThunderX is expensive… honestly it's not much faster than RPi here because of an issue described below) The Roslyn C# compiler has a concurrency problem on aarch64: https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/7017 (not FreeBSD specific) so the workaround is to disable parallelism… so the .NET libraries are built very very slowly :( BoringSSL patch is from bug 223019 but slightly modified (to ignore <sys/auxv.h>), see comment in that thread. Also there was an intermittent jemalloc error, had to restart the build once: <jemalloc>: /usr/src/contrib/jemalloc/include/jemalloc/internal/extent_inlines.h:63: Failed assertion: "szind < NSIZES" ================================================================= Got a SIGABRT while executing native code. This usually indicates a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries used by your application. ================================================================= gmake[14]: *** [../../../build/library.make:342: ../../../class/lib/net_4_x-linux/Facades/System.IO.FileSystem.Primitives.dll] Abort trap (core dumped)

Created attachment 195945 [details] mono-aarch64.patch Sure, this should be a diff against current master. I only tried on CURRENT. jemalloc — maybe you got lucky, it only happened once during my build. Or maybe this was fixed — I used an old current snapshot for the build. extra-patch — looks like the model of the processor matters. The concurrency bug is definitely happening on Cavium ThunderX (it's been happening to everyone on Linux before I even tried on FreeBSD).
It builds fine on 11.1.
