If I grab sources from svn it will be the first time that I've done so. =
I'd probably make a separate SSD and leave my "as distributed" =
powerpc/GENERIC SSD alone (it has other uses). Overall it will be some =
time before I've a rebuilt context if I try it. (It is probably a good =
thing for me to do at this stage.)


The svn-src-stable-10/2014-September signal handling commit comments =
that I noticed from you this month are for

"Fix 32-bit signal handling on ppc64." (r261095)

and for

"Set the si_code appropriately for exception-caused signals" =
(powerpc/aim/trap.c) (MFC r269701)

ppc64 (G5) is working and ppc32 (G4) is not working as far as the =
processor context goes for what I'me been reporting on. Although it is =
the powerpc/GENERIC build used for both contexts, not a =
powerpc64/GENERIC64 build for the G5's. (All 10.1-PRERELEASE r270981 =
now.)

So I'm guessing that you are expecting the si_code update to be what =
fixes things. If so then more than just LLDB would care about the =
ucode=3D??? assignments that were added.

This is the smoking gun.  Exit code 026 =3D=3D 22 (decimal), which just =
so
happens to be EINVAL, returned by sigreturn().  I finished committing
all my merges to stable/10, so you could try building an updated
kernel, and see that it fixes it.
