Hi, 

there's some instruction failure on the tiny Milk-V board. I suppose whatever builder Alpine uses has an instruction that the CPU in the Milk-V doesn't. 

You'll encounter like this: 

milkv-duo:/etc/etckeeper# clang-16 
PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace, preprocessed source, and associated run script. 
Stack dump: 
0. Program arguments: clang-16 
1. Compilation construction 
Illegal instruction 


It's not related to clang though, as you'll see here:

milkv-duo:~# cmake 

Usage 
cmake [options] <path-to-source> 
[...]
Run 'cmake --help' for more information. 
Illegal instruction 




The failing instruction looks like this:

I looked at the ISA manual but don't understand how to decode it into an instruction. 
First time I could have made use of this stuff I learned in school but it's been ~25 years now ;-) 
Also, I don't know what I'd have to do afterwards. 

I understand I can probably just bootstrap all packages in cross compiling via their sdk, making sure whatever instruction or memory fencing-thing isn't used. 
But that'd leave a gap open in upstream. And also, I have no idea how to find out afterwards *what* I needed to exclude.


A footnote is that this is still running a vendor kernel, they're in the progress of upstreaming all their drivers, but i think it's only 20% accepted in upstream, so far.

Is there anything I can provide to help make this fully supported?
I can put the little thing in a DMZ for remote tinkering or sponsor one...

Best wishes,
