3: Here a list of possible problems of NetBSD/evbarm aarch64 that needs further
4: investigation in order to write proper PR or better yet to fix them!

7: ## `mpv` and NetBSD crashes
8: Just by invoking `mpv` via:
9:
10: $ mpv
11:
12: It is possible to completely crash NetBSD on aarch64. Investigate why and if
13: possible get a complete backtrace.
14:
15: (Is it PaX MPROTECT related?)

18: ## Python `import requests` SIGILLs
19: Doing a (please note that also `python36` is affected):
20:
21: $ python2.7 -c 'import requests'
22: Illegal instruction (core dumped)
23: Exit 132
24:
25: leads to a SIGILL. Trying to reduce the test case this also happens with just a:
26:
27: $ python2.7 -c 'import OpenSSL'
28: Illegal instruction (core dumped)
29: Exit 132
30:
31: Trying to debug this a bit further we can see:
32:
33: % cat asi.py
34: import OpenSSL
35: % python2.7 -m trace --trace asi.py
