I'm attempting to build LDC for PowerPC64 on FreeBSD.  I've been 
initially successful in building, with some hacks, LDC 0.17.5.  
Everything seems to be working, but some issues.

First, when executing the tests, several tests failed do to 
"Unable to unlock mutex".  Secondly, my attempted to build "dub" 
resulted in an app that segfaults with signal 11.  Below is the 
backtrace from debug:

Anyone have an idea of what I should look at?  Thanks in advance.

I'd try to build the newest LDC with your 0.17.5 and then perform the tests with that one; LDC has seen countless fixes (and possibly some regressions ;)) since 0.17.x.

I successfully built LDC 1.4 with 0.17.5. However, the tests freezes when it gets to "core.atomic". All tests prior to that pass successfully. The "atomic.d" modules successfully compile normally, but the tests seems to choke on it. Any ideas?

I forgot to mention, i get the same results if I build "dub" with the new version 1.4. Regards

I'd pass all druntime modules' names to the test runner manually and leave out core.atomic at first, to see how many other druntime modules have failing tests. Once those are all working, run the Phobos tests and get those all working, then you can try dub, which builds on Phobos. As for core.atomic, I see some checks for PPC64 in there. I dont know anything about FreeBSD/PPC64, but I'd check to make sure that code is right, then run those tests through a debugger to see where it hangs.

Yep, I suspect it has something to do with the 2x64-bit doubledouble floating point format, as your segfault seems to happen in `llrintl()`. We compile the C++ parts of LDC with `-mlong-double-64` (double-precision long double) and use 64-bit D reals (at least with LDC master, not sure about ltsmaster/0.17.x). If your `libm.so` expects doubledoubles, the D real needs to be adapted. IIRC, it might even work out of the box for LDC master. See https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L213 for how to enable 'normal' C long doubles (=> D reals).

Thanks! I'd noticed that code in CMakeLists.txt, but thought it was only appropriate for powerpc vice powerpc64. I'll give it a try and report back.

I've tried all of the above and still experiencing the same issues. Any more thoughts? Thanks in advance.
